Basic, simple RTSP to RTMP streaming

[Timothy Vermeiren]

Hello all,

I am trying to set up crtmpserver to perform the following task:

IP Cam ---(RTSP)---> crtmpserver ---(RTMP)---> Anything

In other words, a very simple RTSP to RTMP stream conversion... However, I can't seem to figure out what to change in the config file. Here is what I have modified: http://pastebin.com/577CcrFi (just the flvplayback part)...

When trying to connect through VLC, I always get an unable to connect error. This happens when using any connection string I can think of... rtmp://<server_ip>:1935/flvplayback - rtmp://<server_ip>:1935/flvplayback/ip_cam - rtsp://<server_ip>:5544/flvplayback - rtsp://<server_ip>:5544/flvplayback/ip_cam; neither RTSP or RTMP work.

What am I doing wrong with this config? Or does this have to do with something else than the crtmpserver config? I suggest someone could post a sample .lua file, with the most basic, rudimentary configuration as to handle rtsp to rtmp, and we could see if that works? Or else, what's wrong in my .lua file?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Anyone? I'm guessing this is a relatively simple problem...

I'm going to take a look at it and come back with a response today. It would be nice if you could give me a link to your RTSP camera to test it. Do that by private email if necessary.

Cheers,
Andrei

Clarification:

I manage to stream flv files through crtmp without a problem. For
instance, when I put "test.flv" in the applications/flvplayback/media"
folder, I can access it through a flash application, using an
FLVPlayback component and setting its source to "rtmp://
<ip_of_crtmp_server>/flvplayback/test". The only problem is, how do I
access the rtsp stream? Using "live" or "ip_cam" (the localStreamName
in the config) in the url gives me an error ("no live streams found",
etc).

Does this help on resolving the matter?

Cheers

Okay, yet more progress on the issue... I can now connect to
rtmp://<server_ip>/live/cam! I had forgotten a pair of paranthesis in
the config file. One problem left... there is no video! I see just a
black canvas (while the test flv video did work with video and
audio)...

I do get to red error messages when starting crtmp:
"Video doesn't have sprop-parameter-sets" and "video track index 0 not
found"
Then, the console constantly gives warnings saying "Missing audio
packet. Wanted x; got: y on stream: cam".

The same happens when using the standard test application (http://
dl.dropbox.com/u/2918563/flvplayback.swf).

Sooo... Are we coming closer? :)

Oh, and it also warns (in yellow): "sdp.cpp:413 Invalid codec: MP4V-
ES"...

So obviously, that last message means that the stream coming from the
camera is in the wrong format... It works when I take the stream from
the camera into VLC, and transcode it into h264 + aac (mp4)...

Now all I am waiting for is to find the binaries for Windows... I'm
working on a project in which I can't use Linux, but the Windows
binaries seem to have vanished from the website, and I can't get it to
compile, as I don't have enough experience with that.

Cheers, at least I got something now :)

hi ,

am very intrested in CRTMP server .. its workd well n installed simply
than RED5.. so i prefer CRTMP server
here is an example which am doing streaming with CRTMP server . its
successfully working now..

live cam source --->laptop--->CRTMP server----> player(web player in
site )

first of all i installed and run crtmp server in my server.and run it
like

#root@chettai's:/# ./crtmpserver/crtmpserver crtmpserver/
crtmpserver_live.lua

(src: http://trac.rtmpd.com/browser/trunk/builders/cmake/crtmpserver/crtmpserver.lua?rev=349
)

and keep my terminal open ..

then i installed adobe live encoder for live stream feeding purpose.
and gave

rtmp://<server-ip>/flvplayback

livestream name as:somelive

then connected

after that i connected live output from live cam source and selected
in adobe live encoder and started streaming.

then installed jwplayer and got the code for streaming player
from :http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard

my stream is rtmp://<server ip>/flvplayback
and file': 'somelive.flv'

then the stream will play directly ... perfectly..

let me know if its helped ... :)


Stream it ,Dream it..
