I am trying to capture and stream video within my network 10.100.64.1/24 using libnginx-mod-rtmp. I followed a tutorial. I used the same URL for publishing and playing: rtmp://10.100.64.4/lab/test But the player does not find the stream.
My nginx settings:
allow publish 10.100.64.4/24;
allow play 10.100.64.4/24;
record_path /media/HLEV/GoPro/Raw;
<code>rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 4096;
allow publish 127.0.0.1;
allow publish 10.100.64.4/24;
deny publish all;
allow play 127.0.0.1;
allow play 10.100.64.4/24;
deny play all;
application lab {
live on;
idle_streams off;
record all;
record_path /media/HLEV/GoPro/Raw;
record_unique on;
}
}
}
</code>
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 4096;
allow publish 127.0.0.1;
allow publish 10.100.64.4/24;
deny publish all;
allow play 127.0.0.1;
allow play 10.100.64.4/24;
deny play all;
application lab {
live on;
idle_streams off;
record all;
record_path /media/HLEV/GoPro/Raw;
record_unique on;
}
}
}
The server lives on 10.100.64.4, so I published a video using ffmpeg:
<code>ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i MyVideo.flv -c:v copy -c:a aac -ar 44100 -ac 1 -f flv -flvflags no_duration_filesize rtmp://10.100.64.4/lab/test
<code>ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i MyVideo.flv -c:v copy -c:a aac -ar 44100 -ac 1 -f flv -flvflags no_duration_filesize rtmp://10.100.64.4/lab/test
</code>
ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i MyVideo.flv -c:v copy -c:a aac -ar 44100 -ac 1 -f flv -flvflags no_duration_filesize rtmp://10.100.64.4/lab/test
The publishing looks good. Last line of the above command:
<code>frame=54030 fps= 60 q=-1.0 size= 119584kB time=00:15:01.00 bitrate=1087.3kbits/s speed= 1x
<code>frame=54030 fps= 60 q=-1.0 size= 119584kB time=00:15:01.00 bitrate=1087.3kbits/s speed= 1x
</code>
frame=54030 fps= 60 q=-1.0 size= 119584kB time=00:15:01.00 bitrate=1087.3kbits/s speed= 1x
And I can see that the video is being saved locally from the record block of the nginx settings.
Then I try to play the stream using ffplay:
<code>ffplay -i rtmp://10.100.64.4/lab/test

ffplay does not find the stream.
I can observe both the publish and play commands by examine the access log of nginx:

I have tried using different video streams (directly from a webcam instead of from ffmpeg). I have also tried using different players (VLC instead of ffplay).
How do I connect to the stream?
Do you need different URLs for publishing versus playing? The way I understood it, publishing is on port 1395 and playing is on port 80, so there is no conflict with using the same URL.
Is there a way to list the currently active streams on my server?
