How can I pull stream from another wowza server

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi guys,

I have two wowza live server A and B.

For example, A is now publishing stream str0.

Some one connect to B, he want to play str0, but B does not has str0 published.

How can B pull str0 from A, and then publish it?

Hi there. You can push using the PushPublish addon:

Or you can pull using Live Stream Repeater:

Just to clarify, you can push more than one stream to the same server or to several servers, but pulling from an origin using liverepeater is much more scalable, and is recommended when all the servers involved are Wowza servers. Push is typically used to send a stream to CDN that may be using other streaming servers, and is able to scale delivery through its network.

The origin and the edge can both have StreamType “live”. When you pull a stream in an edge server from an origin server you start the stream (usually using a .stream file) in the Manager or StreamManager with MediaCaster type “liverepeater”

Addition:

With Push Publishing, you can only push the stream from one server to another. With the Live Stream Repeater you can set up as many edge servers as needed and pull the same stream to all of them.

Hi Salvadore & Richard, thanks for all your reply.

But I do not want live application A and B to be set to origin or edge when they are created.

I wanna they are dynamic, that is, B may to pull stream0 from A,and A may to pull stream1 from B.

How I can do it?
