Stream not found, streaming engine 4.4.7 on macOS

Hello,

I installed the MacOS version of Wowza streaming engine (4.7.7 on macOS Mojave 10.14.3) with a free developer license.

I try to achieve a simple test, stream an IP camera via the Test player… I can view the stream via VLC over RTSP/RTP directly connected to the camera but did not succeed with wowza.I configured the Stream Files and connected the stream which is marked as Active.

When I try to view the stream the request to http://localhost:1935/live/paris.stream/manifest.mpd returns a 404 after a 12sec timeout

Server log : WARN server comment - HTTPStreamerAdapterMPEGDashStreamer.service: Request timeout: 12000 

Client side I have an error about CORS, the response do not contains CORS header although CORS are default enabled for the live app.

curl -vs http://localhost:1935/live/paris.stream/manifest.mpd

Trying 127.0.0.1...
TCP_NODELAY set
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 1935 (#0)
GET /live/paris.stream/manifest.mpd HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:1935
User-Agent: curl/7.54.0
Accept: */*

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Server: WowzaStreamingEngine/4.7.7

Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

Why is my stream not found ? Is juste the URL malformed ? I struggled during two days trying to make it work, please help !

Wowza Streaming Engine uses TCP for both the RTSP control channel and data transport. This is known as Interleaved mode. If your camera does not support TCP for data transport then you will need to enable UDP. We have an article on how you can do that. Note that the article needs to be updated to reflect that Interleaved mode is the default.

https://www.wowza.com/docs/How-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files#rtspstreams

From the article

Setting descriptions

  • rtpTransportMode: String “udp”, “interleave” or “tcp”, “tunnel” or “https” This setting controls how the RTSP protocol is used when pulling an RTSP/RTP stream from an IP camera. For more details, see Change the RTP transport mode.
    Default: “udp”

If that does not work for you then please open a ticket via your Wowza Portal.
