Hey guys,

According to my research, MPEG-DASH protocol is not supported by WOWZA’s Dynamic Load Balancer. Can you confirm that ?

Thanks.

Joarley

Hello,

Yes, currently redirection over the MPEG-DASH streaming protocol isn’t supported. There’s a “Feature Request” for this though, please note there is no definitive timeframe as to when we will support it.

Best,

This is something you guys really need to work on tbh.

Having a easy to use, less programing the possible way of creating multi-server clusters would so benefit Wowza Streaming Engine.

Currently we have a little NodeJS script pool the data usage on each server and then give the client the best geo-located server that is less loaded out of the cluster.

Wowza take care of this and making it so you could just add a edge server with the click of a button and adding an IP would be so much better than this…

You made the dashboard for a reason, same dashboard that basic users need who just want to run live streams but might not have multiple 10g servers.

Hi,

Point taken Jackster.

For the OP, we will be releasing a new load balancer in the near future, which will include MPEG-DASH. I can’t give precise timescales at this time though.

Regards,

Paul
