Hi everyone,

I have some problem when trying to use Wowza GoCoder SDK. I’m using sample from:

(1) iOS Sample from Github ([https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/gocoder-sdk-samples-ios](https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/gocoder-sdk-samples-ios))

(2) iOS sample from AppStore ([https://itunes.apple.com/vn/app/wowza-gocoder/id640338185?mt=8](https://itunes.apple.com/vn/app/wowza-gocoder/id640338185?mt=8))

(3) Android sample from Github ([https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/gocoder-sdk-samples-android](https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/gocoder-sdk-samples-android))

(4) Android sample from PlayStore ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wowza.gocoder](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wowza.gocoder))

Right now I can only stream live video from sample (2), sample (1), (3), (4) return following error:

_{“level”: “error”, “code”: “NetStream.Publish.Failed”, “description”: “Not authorized to publish”, “clientid”: x.xxxxx+xx}_

Sample (3) also show me this error:

_A broadcast component reported the following error during the PREPARE\_FOR\_BROADCAST transition severity : ERROR error class : null error code : 0 description : The maximum no. of connection attempts has been reached_

(We 're using our own server).

Please let me know what this error is and how to fix it?

Hello @Nguyễn Tiến

_{“level”: “error”, “code”: “NetStream.Publish.Failed”, “description”: “Not authorized to publish”, “clientid”: x.xxxxx+xx}_

_You’ll need to add your Wowza Streaming Engine Application publish stream username/password combo to your BroadcastConfig._

_iOS:_ [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-broadcast-with-gocoder-sdk-for-ios#connection](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-broadcast-with-gocoder-sdk-for-ios#connection)

Please see username and password params.

Android: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-broadcast-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android#connection](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-broadcast-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android#connection)

Please see setUsername and setPassword methods.

For the Playstore version of GoCoder, you’ll need to set this username / password combo in the Wowza gear icon -\> Connect to Wowza Streaming Engine -\> Source Authentication.

I would recommend testing with our free GoCoder SDK examples located [here](https://www.wowza.com/pricing/installer#gocodersdk-downloads).

Regards,
