Help to create the first application with html5 + iPhone/iPad.

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi all. It’s my first time using the Wowza Media Server and I having some troubles. I start the server and in firefox/safari when I put try to access the server by the port 8060 I get success, but when I try 1935 port I get “page not found”. I’m trying to set up a new application by the tutorial that I found in the Wowza Tutorials page, the ‘vod’ application. I have some questions:

  1. How can I do to create a new file playlist.m3u8 and witch the folder is it?

  2. What is the data needs inside the playlist.m3u8?

  3. I trying to play a video using html5

http://192.168.0.16:8086/vod/mp4:sam…/playlist.m3u8

  1. The playlist.m3u8 have to be in the ‘vod’ folder?

I want to test it in the iPhone/iPad browser (Safari) using the html5 tag, so how can I set it up to get the video playing?

Thanks in advance!

There is not a playlist.m3u8 file on disk. Wowza serves this file to iOS devices, but it only exists in memory. All you have to do is add it to the end of the url.

See the vod tutorial for exact steps to configure and playback:

Again, I suggest you follow this tutorial:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming

Make sure you follow any steps related to IPhone or iOS streaming.

I would use port 1935 instead of 8086

<source src="http://192.168.0.16:1935/myapplication/mp4:sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8" type="video/mp4" />

I don’t think the html5 video tag “preload” and “autobuffer” attributes will have any affect.

Yes, you can use 8086.

If you are having a problem with 1935, check your access log for errors regarding binding to port 1935 when starting. You might have another instance of Wowza already running, or you are running FMS or another application that is already using port 1935.

This is where you set the ports that Wowza will bind to and are available for streaming and http output.

HostPort /Port “1935” is default streaming port.

HostPort /Port “8086” is used for the HTTProviders in that HostPort:

Thanks to reply Richard.

I used this tutorial: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-install-and-configure-wowza-streaming-engine#appConfig to startup the application but I had no success. The tag used to load the video is:

I create the application folder in /applications/myapplication and the /conf/myapplication folder and copied the Application.xml to the same folder. The sample.mp4 are in the /content folder.

What I’m doing wrong?

Is there any problem with me is accessing via port 8086? I can not access through port 1935.

There is the log when I start the server.

When I open the Window Multitask I see that java is in 1935 port and the Wowza is in 8086.

Hello Richard. Now it playing videos. I think that was wrong was that as he was with the default port 8086 the attribute was not in the streams attribute as the default port (cupertinostreaming, smoothstreaming, sanjosestreaming).

Thank you in advance.
