I'm trying to stream an RTP stream to a port on an external ip.

When I attempt to load the stream using the internal ip on the pc itself, everything works.

When instead I try to stream using the external ip (even though I'm streaming to it), I cannot connect at all.

What troubleshooting should I be aware of, especially considering that we're using RTP?

So far we have done the following:

  1. Opened the firewall and respective ports used (UDP).
  2. We streamed the same stream over HTTP
  3. On the server itself, I can stream only using the internal ip, but not the external ip, even when I'm using the external ip as the address I want to stream to.

  • Check that the server process is bound to the external IP address.
  • Check that the server system's firewall isn't blocking access.
  • Check that upstream systems aren't blocking access.

It would seem that RTP cannot be sent over the internet (at least not using VLC).

When I changed the protocol to RTSP, everything worked out ok.
