Hi there, I’m doing a live stream into a large bank, and there’s to be 40,000 connections. For the purpose of streaming, I’m using wirecast with my output as rtmp rtmp://12.34.567.89/live stream is myStream (as usual) I am using an outside network to stream out. I am also using the transcoder add-on with ABR using 4 diff bitrates. The video is served up using jwplayer Everything looks good on the naked network I use. But when trying to view the livestream on the bank’s network, I get the following: “Cannot load M3U8:crossdomain access denied” Is this a fault of jwplayer, or the wowza settings? Here is the actual page - [http://goo.gl/iLmxIO](http://goo.gl/iLmxIO) Thanks to anyone who can help? ---

To add to this thread, I’ve been able to stream into this workplace, with jwplayer serving up a single RTMP streaming. At that time, I had to use rtmp tunnelling to get into the bank’s network The main problem I am having - how do I get HLS streaming to work in a place where ports 1935 and 80 are closed? Thanks Jason ---

This is what I am able to find about open ports at this location’s network RTMP Port 1935 - yes RTMP Port 80 - no RTMP Port 443 - yes RTMPT (all ports) - yes It seems that I cannot get HLS streaming into this network. I wonder if there are some other ports I could try? ---

Going a bit further, it seems the bank’s network is blocking the HLS stream coming from Amazon EC2 For example - the HLS stream “[http://54.159.212.131/live3/smil:myStream.smil/playlist.m3u8](http://54.159.212.131/live3/smil:myStream.smil/playlist.m3u8)” is just plain blocked The error message when trying to directly open that stream on the bank network is “The Website you are attempting to access does not yet have a security classification. Access is temporarily restricted.” I am going to guess there really is nothing I can do now, except get the bank to lift their security restrictions? ---

I did a real bizarre workaround, which worked. I am using Wowza on EC2. For a long time, I was using [Wowza Streaming Engine 4: Standard](https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/f7d298ed1ca774f99e523a17caeb645f214ca9dd?url=https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00IPTQDI6&signature=eed1ddf86f8d2fba), paying $15/month and instance charges. I have since upgraded to [Wowza Streaming Egine 4: Bring Your Own Licence](https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/725ca20f183696c129b3b208e42edaf67351229f?url=https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00IPTPABM&signature=8801a96a661e7a1c) - paying $65/month and instance charges I have been using the quick start AMI’s provided by BYOL and adding my licence key, and doing it this way, I was never able to get through the bank’s network. BUT, when I used one of the quick start AMI’s provided by Streaming Engine 4: Standard, and adding my licence, I was able to get through the bank network. I realize they are different AMI’s, but for this case, both had the exact same security settings attached to them. **Streaming Engine 4 - AMI (this one worked)** WowzaStreamingEngine-ebs-paid-standard-4.1.1-x86\_64-433fbc8b-6e76-489b-8027-12fea483fb99-ami-74ec881c.2 (ami-1683e37e) Description: WowzaStreamingEngine-ebs-paid-standard-4.1.1-x86\_64 Security Group: Wowza Streaming Engine 4- Standard-4-1-1-AutogenByAWSMP- **Streaming Engine 4 - (BYOL) AMI - (this did not work)** WowzaStreamingEngine-ebs-byol-4.1.2-x86\_64-5f03c7f6-de9b-43fe-a602-1c49f77d1a02-ami-806656e8.2 (ami-da437cb2) Description: WowzaStreamingEngine-ebs-byol-4.1.2-x86\_64 Security Group: Wowza Streaming Engine 4- Bring Your Own License-4-1-2-AutogenByAWSMP- For some reason, that was the difference. The Streaming Engine 4: Standard AMI had the proper security keys built in to bypass the bank’s network, whereas the BYOL ami did not. I was able to add my licence to the Standard AMI and enable the transcoder. I wonder if there is something different between the two AMI settings that did this? ---

Hi, There really shouldn’t be such a difference in the AMIs. The only real requirements are: 1. Enabling the streaming port 80 under Server-\>Vhost Setup-\>Host Ports 2. Enabling TCP port 80 in your EC2 Security Group. Daren ---
