Hi,

I'm having issues streaming rtsp using darwin to a nokia n81 8gb phone. The link works on a pc using realplayer.
Having trouble figuring out why the mobile phone is having issue. Tried this using EDGE and WiFi.

Thanks,
Josh

Please provide some more details on exactly what error messages or similar you get.

I see that it is connecting to the streaming server (darwin in this case) as it retrieves the video metadata (length of clip, title).
However, it just sits there and finally nokia phone pops up a server timeout message.

Wish there was more, though no other error message and not sure how to properly diagnose this. This same result happens on various other nokia phones tested as well.

Not sure where to begin or how to troubleshoot this.

It is quite possible that you have a problem on the Darwin side.

I would probably start looking on this end as it is possibly something to do with the player not being able to access the streaming server on all the different ports.

Do you have a sample URL?

By player you mean mobile player right?

The darwin server is accessible from a pc using realplayer. Actually multiple pcs in various locations.

Darwin was actually sitting outside the firewall at one point for testing for the nokia n81 8gb mobile player.

As far as a sample url, I'll see if I can get one to share, though I'm still confused why it would work on the web and not on the mobile phone? There really isn't much configuration that is done with darwin.

So you´re trying to stream VoD clips, am I right? Have you checked out key frame interval?

I also wants to work on video streaming. But i am unable to download Darwin Streaming Server (for windows). Can anyone please give me correct lick to download streaming server. Please help.

joshjdevl,

If you can get an IPdump of the traffic between the client and the server, it might give you some insight. It sounds like the SDP was transferred over RTSP and then nothing. Check to make sure the rest of the RTSP chat happened and then check to see if data is flowing over UDP. The timeout message is probably coming from a UDP timeout (no data was received by the client over RTP/UDP in a certain amount of time).

If you can't get phone-server traffic, you might want to sniff the traffic from PC to the server. The PC RealPlayer will transition to different protocols to try to stream the content. See if that is happening. The clint can only use RTP/UDP, but the PC can also use RTP/TCP, RDT/UDP/TCP, and HTTP. You can force the PC RealPlayer to use only RTP/UDP to make sure that works (that is what the phone will be using).
