Hi! I’ve installed Wowza 1.7.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 and on Windows XP. I followed all steps with app & conf dirs and I am capable to view flv / mp4 / rtp stream only with players from examples folder. when I try [http://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:Extremists.m4v/playlist.m3u8](http://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:Extremists.m4v/playlist.m3u8) with my browser (firefox) or safari (from iphone) I get this page (source): [HTML]Wowza Media Server Pro10 1.7.2 build12107Wowza Media Server Pro10 1.7.2 build12107[/HTML] The fact is that does not matter what I write after “[http://localhost:1935](http://localhost:1935)” … everytime I get the same page… Here is INFO when server started: > Configure logging: file:///usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro/conf/log4j.properties > > INFO server server-start Wowza Media Server Pro10 1.7.2 build12107 - > > INFO server comment - Serial number: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-RTRYG > > INFO server comment - Maximum connections: 10 > > INFO server comment - Hardware Available Processors: 2 > > INFO server comment - Hardware Physical Memory: 349MB/2012MB > > INFO server comment - Hardware Swap Space: 2819MB/2863MB > > INFO server comment - Max File Descriptor Count: 1024 > > INFO server comment - Open File Descriptor Count: 31 > > INFO server comment - OS Name: Linux > > INFO server comment - OS Version: 2.6.28-14-generic > > INFO server comment - OS Architecture: i386 > > INFO server comment - Java Name: Java HotSpot™ Client VM > > INFO server comment - Java Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. > > INFO server comment - Java Version: 1.6.0\_14 > > INFO server comment - Java VM Version: 14.0-b16 > > INFO server comment - Java Spec Version: 1.6 > > INFO server comment - Java Home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre > > INFO server comment - Java Max Heap Size: 762MB > > INFO server comment - Java Architecture: 32 > > INFO server comment - CMDInterface now listening: [any]:8083 > > INFO server comment - vhost home directory: /usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro > > INFO vhost vhost-start _defaultVHost_ - > > INFO vhost comment _defaultVHost_ RTMP/RTMPT bind attempt ([any]:1935) > > INFO vhost comment _defaultVHost_ Bind successful ([any]:1935) Any clue??

Yes, you have to keep up with the expirations on the Preview releases. Richard ---

There was a link to the Wowza 2 Preview forum, which is no longer active. I have edited that post. We have re-structured these tutorials. Instead of a tutorial for IPhone that covers live and vod, we have separate tutorials for live and vod streaming that cover each technology.

A lot of folks have reported difficulties with emulators doing video correctly, but mostly on Android. You could also obtain an iPod Touch that would let you test the streaming. All it needs is version 3.0 or later of the software. You should also be able to test it using an HTML5 video tag with a browser that supports Apple HLS (such as Safari on Windows or Mac) ---
