I currently have the elastic amazon wowza service setup with the default apps.

Is it possible to access the video directly over http, not using a separate protocol or streaming.

for instance this asset:

rtmp://xxxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/vod/mp4:sample.mp4

how can we access it directly over http?

thanks,

Kris

Kris,

There is not a way to do that except on iOS devices and Safari on OSX (using html5 video tag and cupertino streaming)

For rtmp you need a Flash player, like JW player or Flowplayer

I see. At present you would have to set up web server.

My question is not client related. I do need to use the RTMP services which Wowza supplies.

But I also need a direct http link to the video.

Is there a mechanism to setup a direct http link in Wowza alone, or do i need to configure a seperate web server for that?
