Hi,

I suspect the / before streamname is confusing JW Player. You could try changing it to

rtmp://[wowza-ip]/live/streamname?username=x&password=y

But you would would also need to change your code slightly to get the query parameter.

You might try the following to work with onConnect event handler:

```auto
rtmp://[wowza-ip]/live?username=x&password=y/streamname

```
