Hello

A couple of questions:

  • What is your stream file name? Here it assumes metallica.stream.

  • Do you have the appropriate CORS headers defined?

  • Is your app name fixed to be “testlive”?

Should all of this be preconfigured as suggested, please send a zip file of your conf/, logs/, and stream file(s) to our support team for review along with your exact cURL request and response.

Thanks!

I’ve got exactly the same problem, all other API requests works (like showing, stopping, deleting) but not the example with start a .stream file. I guess the example is not correct, a parameter-name wrong.

The URI format for connecting streams as shown in documentation works for Wowza Dev version. For common Wowza version the URI format is:

http://{serveruri}:8087/v2/servers/{server}/vhosts/{vhost}/applications/{app}/streamfiles/{stream}/actions/connect?connectAppName={app}&appInstance={appinst}&mediaCasterType={casterType}

Where:

{serveruri} = URI address of your Wowza Engine Server

{server} = defaultServer

{vhost}= defaultVHost

{app} = Application name e.g. live

{appinst} = definst

{casterType} = rtp or other media like applehls etc.
