We have around 50 Wowza server. I would like to see:

- SNMP support

- Block user to change name of stream

- Detection - frozen stream

- Detection - interrupted stream

- Detection - missing stream

Best regards,

Edin,

Here is SNMP comment that I think is current:

> Hi I’ve just started using Wowza and I am using the live-record and the ModuleMediaWriterFileMover module to record all live streams and move them to a different location when the stream is stopped. I’d prefer to have several files of the event rather than one large file when it’s finished. However, I’ve just realised that if I stop the stream in order to split the recordings up I will disconnect the viewers from the live stream. I’ve just converted from using [Ustream.com](http://Ustream.com) where the interface…

Not sure about interrupted stream. What do you mean exactly?

so SNMP support you could add if you were using the Net-SNMP libraries. You would need to interface into Wowza via a custom Net-SNMP plugin but this is very do-able. It would slow things down, but very possible.

Other options directly into Wowza are more push like protocols such as IPDR etc.

[edit] I do have the beginnings of an IPDR client as I have written IPDR server code previously, but not yet fininshed[/edit]

Blocking a user from changing the name of the stream you can do now with a custom module

Detecting a frozen stream, so a source, you can do now with a custom module checking timecodes on stream packets

Detecting an interrupted stream, same as a frozen stream, but now checking if timecodes have been reset

Detecting a missing stream, again possible by checking if the stream is published.
