So I have a Windows Media Services server that acts as our 'primary' distribution method for streaming live video content. I recently took note that there are RTSP and HTTP options in WMS, and am exploring utilizing that.
Right now, I am using JWPlayer, and coming back with 'no playable sources found'.
I've ensured that I am using the IP that WMS is bound to, and the current/native RTSP and HTTP ports ( 554 and 80 ), And that the plugin is enabled at the server level.
My question at this point May be as simple as 'What is the expected URL scheme/syntax for a Live stream from WMS over RTSP or HTTP'; but may be a bigger question - like 'is my JWPlayer set properly, or will it even support RTSP or HTTP from WMS'.
I am aware that JWPlayer doesn't support MMS, but RTSP and HTTP are not MMS.
Any thoughts would be marvelous.
jwplayer.key = 'KEY';
jwplayer('JWPlayer').setup({
image: '',
height: '480px',
width: '640px',
skin: 'stormtrooper',
autostart: '',
provider: 'rtsp',
playlist:
[{
sources:
[
{ file: 'rtsp://IP:554/LIVEPUBLISHINGPOINT' },
{ file: 'http://IP:80/LIVEPUBLISHINGPOINT' }
]
}]
});
For the record, I'm using the cloud hosted JWPlayer.
Similarly, I can confirm that data is coming across that publishing point in MMS protocol, with roughly the same variables.
RTSP and HTTP over WMS are referenced here.
