Load balancing is not involved in streaming. The LB Listener keeps track of LB Senders (edge) number of connections and will return the least loaded server for a client to connect to. Then that client connects and starts streaming. So do not mix up load balancing, and streaming. Setup one and then the other. Follow the steps in the guide carefully, exactly and without improvising until you have something working. We can’t re-write each guide, you have to read and follow what is there.

Hi Richard,

Sorry I forgot to mention we are using nDVR addon and recording live streams.

Will these steps work for nDvr as well ?

I have gone through this tutorial for nDVR addon https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-stream-repeater-for-use-with-wowza-ndvr-origin-edge and also gone through Dynamic Load Balancing AddOn . But few things are not clear to me . we are publishing stream from mobile (rtsp) to wowza. As per document I can publish stream only to origin server. Then how dynamic load balance would work here ? Also how to playback stream. Your quick guidance can help me more to understand this.

Thanks For your Reply. You should not re-write any document but where this statement (Load balancing is not involved in streaming) is mentioned ? Initially every developer thinks LB can be both(Streaming and connection). Please be polite with your answers.
