Issue trying to stream RTSP to RTMP (live) through NGINX
<p>I want live RTMP streaming through nginx. I setup this server on a public ip (linux - CentOS), using this tutorial: <a href="https://notehub.org/rcfdu" rel="nofollow">https://notehub.org/rcfdu</a>.</p>

<p>My target is: RTSP source -> transcode to RTMP -> recieve on nginx (live ip),</p>

<p>Then, I want to receive this stream through server; something like:</p>

<p>nginx -> ffplay.</p>

<p>On transmission side, I have ffmpeg application, and on receiver side, I have ffplay application.</p>

<p>I have setup everything I could think of, and I can see it is properly setup (apparently). But, when I try to stream using similar command:</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg -i rtsp://aaa.bb.ccc.ddd/vod/mp4:filename.mov -f mpegts rtmp://&lt;live ip address&gt;:1935/live/
</code></pre>

<p>I get lots of messages (where everything looks alright):</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg -i rtsp://aaa.bb.ccc.ddd/vod/mp4:filename.mov -f mpegts rtmp://&lt;live ip address&gt;:1935/live/
