Hello, After making changed to Application.xml, RTSP/RTP streaming from /home/wowza/content directory is working. However, RTSP/RTP streaming from mounted AWS S3 is not working. I confirmed that RTMP streaming from S3 is correctly operating so the S3 is properly mounted. This is a quite important issue for us so help will be greatly appreciated. ---

On EC2, you should use the vods3 application to stream from s3. Are you trying to stream directly from an S3FS mount? That’s not recommended, but if RTMP works then RTSP should work. If this works in Wowza example SimpleVideoStreaming player: Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/vod Stream: mp4:sample.mp4 This should work: rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/_definst_/mp4:sample.mp4 Make sure that /conf/vod/Application.xml /RTP /Authentication /PlayMethod is “none” Richard ---

First, it does work. Here is a sample URL from our test server: rtsp://184.72.239.149:1935/vods3/_definst_/mp4:amazons3/wowzamediacache/sample.mp4 Several possible issues: - You need to add appInstance to your URL: - Be sure TCP port 554 is open - Be sure all UDP ports are open 1-65535 - Be sure in conf/vods3/Application.xml that the RTP/Authentication/PlayMethod is set to **none** ---

Also, if testing with QuickTime, turn off acceleration: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-apple-quicktime-player-for-rtsp-rtp-playback-on-windows](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-apple-quicktime-player-for-rtsp-rtp-playback-on-windows)) Charlie ---

If you are using VLC to test rtsp output from Wowza, you can look at Tools \> Codec Info too see if there is an audio track and what codec it is. You can compare to what Wowza supports here: [http://wowza.com/specs.html](http://wowza.com/specs.html) Richard ---

Android plays the stream nicely. Thank you 🙂
