After installation of Streaming Engine on Ubuntu server, accessing http://[my-server-ip]:1935 does not return anything (says “Empty response”). Port 1935 is open in firewall. Then, based on the tutorial here [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 configured a stream file for stream rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny\_115k.mov In the application, under “Incoming Streams”, this stream is shown “Active”. However, the test players do not display anything. I tried running the “Mobile” urls in VLC player, that also fails to play. Is there any configuration I missed? ---

Define the open port in the RTSP url. Default is 554 rtsp://184.72.239.149:1935/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny\_115k.mov ---

Thank you for reply Jay, This url rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny\_115k.mov is the source (“Stream URI”) of my stream file. The output url (as seen in “Test Players” for “incoming streams”) is rtsp://[my-server-ip]:1935/hikCams/test1.stream I tried changing the “Stream URL” in “Stream File” to rtsp://184.72.239.149:1935/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny\_115k.mov But no luck. Any other suggestions? ---

@Jay Charles are you still available for some Wowza development? I tried to contact you at your “first contact” email. ---
