cloud CDN setup with streampublisher

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I’ve signed up for cloud CDN (direct stream, no transcoding).

following the steps here:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/scale-wowza-streaming-engine-with-wowza-streaming-cloud-cdn

I logged into cloud.wowza, set up to direct stream, and got a connection code (prefixed with a 1)

I have an existing live application in my wowza engine (called live-dev). Live-dev uses SMIL files & streampublisher for MP4 live streaming on a schedule. It loops 24x7.

The stream is called Stream1

I added a stream target of Wowza cloud, set the stream prefix to be “Stream1”

“primary” as destination server

entered the connection code

I enabled to stream target but the status is waiting. I dont know why this occurs. The instruction page says these are the possibilities. ?

Waiting. The target is enabled but isn’t yet pushing any of the transcoded stream renditions to the Wowza Streaming Cloud destination for one of the following reasons:

The original source stream isn’t connected to the Wowza Streaming Engine input, so the transcoded renditions aren’t being generated.

The target’s configured Source Stream Name Prefix doesn’t match the beginning of any of the transcoded stream names.

Wowza Streaming Engine hasn’t completed initialization of the streaming connections to the Wowza Streaming Cloud destination.

Hello,

The article for this workflow was recently updated to try and clarify this workflow better.

For now, if you change the “stream prefix” from Stream1 to Stream, you should see it connect.

Notes:

The stream target won’t work if you enter the exact stream name as the Source Stream Name Prefix. The stream name must begin with the Source Stream Name Prefix value, but can’t match it exactly.

The stream name minus the last character must be unique to the stream. If any other streams also begin with the Source Stream Name Prefix that you enter, they will be treated as a group of transcoded stream renditions and sent to Wowza Streaming Cloud as well.

Please let me know your results.

Regards,
