Get RTMP from another server like wowza or red5

[Rafael Ribeiro]

Hello!

How can I push/pull a stream from another server ... example, we have a RTMP stream from Wowza, and would like to add it to our ROOM ... is there an API to this?

You can capture RTMP stream from another server as described here

POST /rest-api/pull/rtmp/pull HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.101:8081
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
 
{
    "uri":"rtmp://wowza:1935/live/rtmp_stream1"
}

Thanks Max,

There is an way to define localStreamName?

Actually its using the RTMP address, and its strange, since we can use different address as origin.

[fileName] => rtmp:__10.128.0.22_live_1595793306-wowza-{startTime}-{endTime}.mp4

We are using transcoder to do the name changes, but its add more CPU to server.

That's impossible now. We raised the ticket WCS-2828 to add localStreamName parameter.

Yes, the query /pull/rtmp/pull uses full RTMP stream URL as pulled stream name

We are using transcoder to do the name changes, but its add more CPU to server.

You can also use RTMP republishing to localhost. Please set the following parameter

rtmp_transponder_full_url=true

then you can republish the stream by /rest-api/push/startup

POST /rest-api/push/startup HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.101:8081
Content-Type: application/json
 
{
    "streamName": "rtmp:__10.128.0.22_live_1595793306-wowza ",
    "rtmpUrl":"rtmp://locahost:1935/live/desiredStreamName"
}

The stream will be available on server by desired name

Got it!

Thanks to check future implementation.

Good day.
We added ability to publish pulled RTMP stream on server with a given name in build 5.2.724:

POST /rest-api/pull/rtmp/pull HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.101:8081
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
 
{
   "uri":"rtmp://wowza:1935/live/rtmp_stream1",
   "localStreamName":"stream1"
}
