Hello

i try to connect the stream, that runs bosch vms server . Videos works on VLC player but not after wowza/

The RTSP connection to this server is using rtsp\_tunnel format such as :

rtsp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/rtsp\_tunnel

Or it can use Bosch API REST parameters format

rtsp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/?line=2

Both formaters can be open and played on VLC on the same server as wowza:

When i try to connect this stream after wowza - it does not work

I receive the next errors in wowzastreamingenging\_error.log:

Application folder ([install-location]/applications/_defapp_) is missing

And also i receive the next errors in wowzastreamingengine\_access.log:

MediaCasterStreamValidator.onValidateMediaCaster[live/_definst_] Stream not healthy

Thanks Ilya
