Hi Don,
To rule out the SSL certificate, you may want to test using a StreamLock SSL certificate that we provide which can be downloaded for free. Please see the following article for more information about StreamLock.
Generally, a web page using HTTPS can’t reference a stream using HTTP. So, if the page where the player is located is accessed over SSL (using HTTPS) the playback URL within the player must also be HTTPS and configuring the Wowza software to use an SSL certificate will allow you to do that.
I don’t have a copy of the configuration files for WowzaMediaServer 2.2.4 to confirm but if memory serves, it isn’t too dissimilar to the VHost we have now but with fewer options/functionality. You’ll need to create a new HostPort in the [Wowza-Install]/conf/VHost.xml file using a text editor. I recommend that you copy an existing HostPort and then just change the port number used to 443 and add the SSL configuration in the SSLConfig container.
So, the KeyStorePath may contain something like: ${com.wowza.wms.ConfigHome}/conf/xxxxxxxxxxxx.streamlock.net.jks
And the KeyStorePassword would contain the password used when downloading the .jks file. Once the changes have been saved, you’ll need to restart the Wowza software for the changes to take effect.
After restarting, you’ll need to check the log file to see if it binds to the port and uses the SSL certificate.
