Hi,

I have installed a Wowza server Pro Unlimited version for use live streaming with “Secure URL Params”.

When I start the live stream from a flash live stream application like the FLVHosting or On2 Live encoder, it works fine with an url like rtmp://[server\_ip]/stream?doConnect=xxxx&doPublish=yyyy

But when I start the same live stream from the Flash Media Encoder 2.5, I have the error message “Invalid Primary FMS URL : Please enter primary URL in rtmp://hostname:[portno]/applicationpath format. Special characters in URL are not allowed”.

If I don’t use secure Url Params, all is right even with the Flash Media Encoder.

Do you have an idee about the problem ?

Thanks

Gerard

Use the url:

rtmp://[server\_ip]/stream/_definst_/doConnect=xxxx/doPublish=yyyy
