Hi;

I am just new for using wowza server , I install the wowza engine ( developer version trial free for 180 days license ) , I install on window os and Linux os for testing. I Set up an RTSP link from an outdoor VstarCam IP Camera , I used rtsp://user:passwd@192.168.1.58:10554/udp/av0\_0 , I tested on VLC and worked well, the camera and my computer are on the same network, I set up the Source Security but when I go to incoming sources, my stream says Active and then click my stream and run the test players when I click start it says playing but the screen displays black, I followed all the vdo tutorials, I tested on windows and Linux , same result,but when I tested Big Bunny RTSP link for streaming test rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny\_175k.mov , it displays perfect, but not my ipcam

how I candisplay the rtsp stream on from my ip camera on the wowza

how to fix this problem ?

thanks

Ben
