Using VLC 1.0.3
vlc -vvv -I rc mms://xxxxxxxx/xxxxx “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2,samplerate=22050}:rtp{dst=wowzamsIP,port-video=10000,port-audio=10002,sdp=file:“C:\vlc.sdp”}”
will not output me an sdp file. also with C:/vlc.sdp
Any Ideas?
vcodec should be h264, and your missing --sout= there fully (it’s --sout="#transcode…)
Hello to all,
I am trying to connect remote vlc to wowza but with no sucess. When i try vlc on wowza server all working perfectly, but when trying to use vlc remote i have a problem.
vlc -I rc http://193.47.74.41/BTV --sout "#transcode{width=320,height=240,venc=x264{keyint=50},vcodec=x264,vb=1000,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2,samplerate=22050}:rtp{dst=192.168.13.246,port-video=10000,port-audio=10002,sdp="http://192.168.13.20:9000/test/test.sdp"}"
That is the command line that i execute on vlc, I try different option for rtp settings but with no success. especially i set dst to 192.168.13.246 that is my wowza server, and sdp to file:/// c:/test.sdp, to ///sms/content/test.sdp and many other options. In all case when player trying to open the stream, in wowza console i see that file is missing.
How exactly should be set this parameter, and is there are some special taht i should hve on wowza server. On that moment i share the content folder but that don’t help me.
Hello,
so i may set sdp=file:///c:/test.sdp and copy this test.sdo file in content folder and thats all ?
I will try this, thank you for that information.
when I use a vlc to output a stream to wowza,transcode setting is 25fps,but I get 50 fps in media information ,why?
Hello Richard.
When I do what I say I can not publish the Wowza streaming server.
Thanks.

Hello Richard.
This wowk only when vlc is in the same PC of wowza.
But I have vlc in one PC and Wowza Server in Other PC.
Thanks Richard
This works, I have another question now I can generate the SDP in a shared path.
vlc -vvv Extremists.m4v --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac,qpmax=36,qpmin=10,me=hex,merange=24,subme=9,qcomp=0.6},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=10.254.2.48,sdp= \srv48\content/vlc.sdp}”
Thanks Ricard for your Help.
Solution.
vlc -vvv “file:///\srv48\C$\Program Files (x86)\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server 2\content\Extremists.m4v” --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac,qpmax=36,qpmin=10,me=hex,merange=24,subme=9,qcomp=0.6},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=10.254.2.48,sdp=file://///srv48/content/vlc.sdp}”
Hi charlie,
I am using Wowza Media Server for Developer v 2.1.2 and VLC v1.1.5 in window to test this feature but they don’t work. VLC and Wowza are on the same computer. I run command line:
vlc -vvv -I rc dshow:// :dshow-vdev=USB Video Device :dshow-adev=Realtek HD Audio Input :dshow-caching=200 --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2,samplerate=22050}:rtp{dst=192.168.1.76,port-video=10000,port-audio=10002,sdp=file://%WMSCONFIG_HOME%/content/vlc.sdp}”
I use LiveVideoStreaming example to play that streaming but it not done. And there is any file vlc.spd that is created in “content” folder… I have 2 question:
-
Is problem in version of wowza, vlc or OS system?
-
What is the relationship between “rtp{dst=192.168.1.76,port-video=10000,port-audio=10002,sdp=file://%WMSCONFIG_HOME%/content/vlc.sdp}” vlc command line and rtplive in wowza server?
Thanks charlie,
Thanks for quick response!
I want build a application that like a video chat application on window. The instructions in that link using VLC to publish a local file via MPEG-TS. I change command line to:
vlc -vvv -I rc dshow:// :dshow-vdev=USB Video Device :dshow-adev=Realtek HD Audio Input :dshow-caching=200 --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60},vcodec=x264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2,samplerate=22050}:rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port=10000,mux=ts}”
But it can’t run…
Sorry for my ignorance.
Hello,
i want to stream from my VLC player (Windows) to my wowza stream server. But I didn’t find the correct settings for streaming. And then I want to receive the stream in the jw player. It’s works, but there are always pixel mistakes.
Here is my VLC command line:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{keyint=32,idrint=2,bframes=0,qp=28,qp-max=32,qp-min=26,frameref=5,scenecut=128},vb=800,scale=0.8,width=640,height=360,aspect=16:9,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,deinterlace{deinterlace=linear}}:rtp{dst=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,port=10000,mux=ts} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :sout-all :ttl=1 :sout-keep
I hope you can say if there is a problem with my VLC settings or general with the wowza server.
Hi
I’m trying to transcode & stream from VLC to Wowza. Everything works fine this way:
vlc -vvv mms://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/hasici150live-9 --sout "#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=512,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=89.185.240.94,port=10000,mux=ts}"
But what I need to do is to stream multiple streams to one port. Richard advised a port sharing and told me to separate the audio and video ports. So I’m trying the following command:
vlc -vvv mms://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/hasici150live-9 --sout "#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=512,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=89.185.240.94,port-video=10000,port-audio=10002,mux=ts,sdp=file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server 2.2.4\content\test.sdp}""
but when I try to view the stream (server: rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/live, stream: test.sdp), I can’t see anything. I have also started receiving the stream with stream manager… Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks!
The .sdp file is generated directly into the content folder, I’ve just checked it is there. I’ve also started a stream in the Stream Manager. I can’t use the mpegt-ts method, because I need to share the port with other connections and thus I need to separate the audio and video ports (10000 and 10002) which I think is not possible this way, is it?
I’m running it in the stand-alone mode. This part of the log is still repeating:

Tried both with no success:(
Ok, so I played with the configuration a little and now I have the following results:
When i’m broadcasting audio and video to a single port (port=10000), everything works fine. But when I try to separate it (port-video=10000, port-audio=10002), it says RTPMediacaster.streamTimeout, reason: 101…
Please help 
I’ve tried, but it’s still the same, single port works, separated A/V says streamTimeout.
I’ve looked at the sdp file and found the following:
when streaming to the single port, there’s this line in the sdp: m=video 10000 RTP/AVP 33, but when I separate A/V, it changes to: m=video 5004 RTP/AVP 33. So maybe some problem with 5004 port?
I have all the UDP ports open.
Ok, I’ve advanced a little. I’ve succeeded in broadcasting a stream with the audio and video ports separated by removing the “mux=ts” part of the command. But still - when trying to broadcast two streams to one port (turned the datagram port sharing on again), the first one starts interrupting, slow-motioning, etc. and the second one won’t play at all…
Any suggestions apreciated. Thank you.
