Steps on how to do the actual stream push needs to be consulted with the stream source, as every system has different ways of accomplishing this.

How To

Below are the examples of how to push a stream in different formats:

RTMP stream

pushStream uri=rtmp://DestinationAddress localStreamName=SomeLocalStreamName

RTSP stream

pushStream uri=rtsp://DestinationAddress:port localStreamName=SomeLocalStreamName

MPEG-TS stream

MPEG-TS streams, in general, don’t have the concept of a stream identifier (name). The EMS will assign a name to an inbound MPEG-TS stream for internal uses, but outside of the EMS, that name is not used. To obtain an MPEG-TS stream from the EMS, it must be first pushed out to the network.

Sample commands to do this are:

pushStream uri=mpegtsudp://DestinationAddr localStreamName=SomeLocalStream

or

pushStream uri=mpegtstcp://DestinationAddr localStreamName=SomeStream

JSON CLI Response

API Call:

pushStream uri=rtmp://192.168.2.105/live localStreamName=testpullstream targetStreamName=testpushstream

JSON Response:

Playing a Pushed Steam

Playing a pushed stream is similar in playing a pulled stream.

The basic commands in playing a pushed stream in EMS are the following:

  • RTMP

    The format of the RTMP URI is as follows:

    rtmp[t|s]://[username[:password]@]ip[:port]/<appName>/<stream_name>

    As an example, to play an RTMP stream, use the following URI in the Flash enabled player:

    rtmp://<EMS_IP_ADDRESS>/live/localStreamName

  • RTMP

    The format of the RTSP URI is as follows:

    rtsp://[username[:password]@]ip[:port]/[ts|vod|vodts]/<stream_name or MP4 file name>

    Note:

    The command is very similar to RTMP, except for the absence of the “appName” field.

    As an example, to play an RTSP stream, the following URI in an RTSP enabled player can be used:

    rtsp://<EMS_IP_ADDRESS>:5544/localStreamName

    By default, the EMS will send the video/audio payload data via RTP. If MPEG-TS is needed instead, simply specify it in the request URI:
