Hi! I’m transcoding a live stream by vlc. I use “sdp=rtsp://localhost:10001/vlc.sdp” in the vlc command. I followed this: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming) I make a vlc.stream file in content/ And I start the stream in the streammanager. I can play the rtsp://localhost:10001/vlc.sdp by vlc, but the rtsp://localhost:1935/live/vlc.stream not working. What should I do? ---

With that method, follow this guide: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-a-native-rtp-encoder-with-sdp-file](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-a-native-rtp-encoder-with-sdp-file) The stream name will be the .sdp filename. Take a look at mpegts out from VLC instead: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts) Richard ---

Take a look at the VLC with mpegts out that I showed you. You will follow the mpegts tutorial for configuration and playback steps: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder) Richard ---

Yes. That is just on the encoder-\>Wowza side. On the Wowza-\>Android side, it shouldn’t matter whether you published to Wowza with MPEG-TS or an SDP. Just make sure the stream is encoded with H.264/AAC. ---

I want to skip this “Give it the name myStream.sdp and copy it to the [install-dir]/content folder.” Because the vlc and the Wowza isn’t on the same server. ---

If I use mpeg-ts, can andrid 2.1 devices play it?
