Hello,

first of all im using wowza 4.1 on windows server.

I’m looking for someone that would build me a custom module that would grab a picture of lives streams( alot of them) every 20 minutes and save them on my website folder so i could use them, also when there would be a new picture from the same stream, it would erase the last one and create the new one.

\*without using transcoder addon

if you have any more question about the module please ask.

budget: please offer me~

Thanks!

Hello,

If you are still looking for this solution I can help with a server-side module written in pure Java (no ffmpeg or transcoder).

You can contact me on Skype: gmaulino

Gerard
