RTSP with SDP


I'm able to get the stream to work in the VCL player, however based on everything I have read JW Player 7 should be able to handle this also.

Below is the code I have tried and both load the player but then both say Error Loading stream: Could not connect to server.

Now the streamer is part of a Crestron system, like I said the VCL player has zero issues.

<div style="border: 2px black solid" id="thePlayer">Loading the player ...</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("thePlayer").setup({
flashplayer: "javascript/jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf",
file: "rtsp://10.251.60.2/live.sdp"

});

</script>

<div style="border: 2px black solid" id="container">Loading the player ...</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jwplayer('container').setup({
file: 'rtmp://10.251.60.2/live.sdp',

autostart: 'true'
});

Our player does not support RTSP streams. Please see http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1403635-media-format-reference for the list of video formats that we do support.

Todd, JW Player does support RTSP streams because we use it now on our site with the current URL ( rtsp://invintus-otfp.global.ssl.fastly.net/2443575804/2016031230-15.m3u8 ) and that is via a wowza engine.

However, when I try to use the following URL ( rtsp://10.251.60.2/live.sdp ) the JW Player says it can't find a feed.

Now we do use the self hosted player.

I also created a ticket.

We do not support RTSP, but it looks like Wowza is also making your stream available via HTTP:

I just verified that http://invintus-otfp.global.ssl.fastly.net/2443575804/2016031230-15.m3u8 is working in our Stream Tester at http://demo.jwplayer.com/stream-tester/

Would it be possible to send your SDP stream to Wowza and then have them send it out as HLS as well?

This stream is coming from a Creston streaming card, so I'm limited I believe, so I'll have to see what Creston says... We don't use the http in our code on the site only rtsp, very odd.

I'll let you know what I find out.
