connection troubles

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello

since a few weeks, more and more of my users have difficulties to connect to my webapp (flash based)

i’m using a shotgun approach, trying to connect on ports 443, 80, 1935 with rtmp or rtmpt. the system connects to the first available channel. it was working perfectly since years, but since a few time it seems that more and more people have problems to get connected…i’m using both wowza 3.6 and wowza 4 servers. i don’t think this is directly related to wowza, but did other people experience the same behavior recently ?

for example i saw some really weird stuff on my customers computer: for example when typing in the address bar let’s say http://mywowzaserver.com:443. with one browser (IE for instance) it was displaying the wowza version, with another browser (chrome and FF) it was displaying a “can’t connect to this page blabla…”. super strange…

thank you !

Hi there, can you please explain your setup in more detail?

Are you using an origin-edge configuration? As this would cause issues using different Wowza versions in that setup.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing back from you with more details.

  • If you have a live stream please outline the type of encoder in use along with the encoding settings for the stream.

  • If you are using a .stream file to start re-streaming please provide this.

  • If you have a on demand stream you may be asked to provide access to the content you are using for further testing. At this stage it is not required.

  • If you are using multiple bitrates (ABR) then please provide the SMIL file associated with your configuration.
