Solution

  • So it appears there are some basic issues with the rtsp from ffmpeg and then no matches to the play request

    You have

    ffmpeg -re -i /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content/sample.mp4 -acodec libfdk_aac -vcodec libx264 -f rtsp -muxdelay 0.1 rtsp://myuser:[email protected]:1935/live/myStream.sdp

    You need to make sure your ffmpeg has libx264 and libfdk_aac plugins available. You should be able to determine this with just

    ffmpeg

    and it should print out the libraries available.

    If you have all the libraries then you are publishing a stream called

    myStream.sdp

    You then have instructions that say

    and fill server with rtmp://localhost:1935/live

    and Stream field with myStream

    So you should either change your ffmpeg command to

    ffmpeg -re -i /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content/sample.mp4 -acodec libfdk_aac -vcodec libx264 -f rtsp -muxdelay 0.1 rtsp://myuser:[email protected]:1935/live/myStream

    Note no .sdp in the stream name any more or use a Stream field in the player of

    myStream.sdp

    When publishing a stream and then attempting to play it back they must match, otherwise you get back Stream Not Found.
