RTSP-->VLC-->RTMP

[Pete_Pete]

I have an IP camera sending out an rtsp stream locallly @ rtsp://10.0.0.10:7070 and Im able to view it through VLC. I know that if I start a stream I can add the rtsp as a video source. My question is how can I both add that rtsp source and stream it my rtmp server locally @ rtmp://10.0.0.11:1935/live ? In the end Im looking to play the rtmp stream on different websites with a flashplayer of some sort.

 

If you can help me out with this or give me any other ideas that'd be great!

I have a very similar stream set up. I stream TV though.

 

I found that VLC is compeltely awful with RTMP. You are so much better off using ffmpeg. I wasted about 4 or 5 weeks trying to get my stream to work without any bugs in VLC, in the end I tried ffmpeg and have had no problems since.

I have no experience with ffmpeg is it able to re-stream from rtsp to rtmp?

Thank you a bunch I've tried setting this up for a few days and I guess it just took knowing the right program to use! I'll set it up now and come back with (hopefully good) results.

Yes it can do everything that VLC does and a lot more. I will post the command line that I use soon, I just need to replace a disk in that server.

here

ffmpeg -i "link from source" -vcodec copy -acodec libfaac -ar 44100 -f flv  rtmp://destination.server/path/to/app

This will copy the video data, but transcode the audio. It takes up hardly any additional CPU. 

 

Read up on the ffmpeg output formats and other options, but this is the basis of what you need. I use jwplayer to embed the stream on my website. I use nginx with the RTMP plugin for the server.
