Hi, i’ve a little problem with rtsp streaming from VLC.

I’ve a dreambox that stream with http. With vlc convert the stream from http to rtsp with :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,scale=Auto,width=320,height=240,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:1234/} :sout-keep

In wowza add a stream file with rtsp://ip\_address:1234/ and connect the stream but all black. No video.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for support

Hi,

Take a look at the [examples given here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts) for the transcoding parameters.

Also you could try sending to Wowza with MPEG-TS instead, you may have more success with that:

:rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port=1234,mux=ts}
