In-5 < Pull (RTMP)
This scenario is the same as method In-6 Pull RTSP/RTP above except that it is an RTMP pull from an RTMP server (for example Wowza, FMS, QuickTime) or from another DME. In this case the stream is pulled by the DME from a source with a URL similar to:
If pulling from another DME it is convenient to make the stream name on this DME the same as the publishing point on the source DME in order to retain the same stream name throughout the ecosystem. The following example shows the original RTMP URL from a VBOSS URL and the parameters on the Flash Pull Setting page from which the URL is derived:
Server:Port | |
Application | |
Publishing Point | |
Stream Name | |
Note that if you wish to redistribute the stream using Unannounced RTP (Out-7) Served RTP from the RTP Server (Out-4), or Push RTP via RTSP from the RTP Server (out-11) an internal RTP Push (Out-10) will need to be configured
To configure a pull (RTMP) input:Objective: Pull a RTMP stream from another DME or a Flash server to redistribute.
1. In the DME, launch the management interface, log in, and go to > . You will need to pull an RTMP stream from a source, so find an open slot from the 25 possible slots and select RTMP as the type. Enter the server IP address or DNS host name, and enter the port if not already 1935 (default port for RTMP). Since this is RTMP an entry in Application is required. Enter the source RTMP server application name, for example live. Also fill in the publishing point name, which identifies the resource on the remote system that we need to pull from. Enter a unique stream name to be used for redistributing the stream within the DME. In most cases there will be no need for the user name and password since this is a pull.
