Very simple. See the installer download page: https://www.wowza.com/pricing/installer

To play your first stream see the VOD tutorial: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming

Also read the Quick Start Guide for an overview and the User Guide both found here: https://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php

You can check current (real-time) connections with these HTTPProviders:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-server-connections-load-and-application-statistics

Or afterward using logs

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-sawmill-to-analyze-wowza-media-server-logs

You need a player to playback streams. The manifest links to the audio and video chunks that the player uses. There is no style info involved. For sanjosestreaming, take a look at Flash Media Playback player

Hi

I’ve followed the quick start guide; I’m reinstalling on another server so I have some experience but I still get confused! It looks too simple.

Anyway, a couple of questions:

  1. Can you direct me to the test software you use, to check connections?

  2. I loaded the following San Jose stream type: http://mycompany.com:1935/myapplication/mp4:mycoolvideo.mov/manifest.f4m (obviously changing to my addresses)

I got this within my browser:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

stream_high

video/mp4

recorded

streaming

Does this suggest that I’m almost there?

Running Windows 2008 r2. I currently have IIS installed. Will this interfere with some of the streams, particularly port 80? If so, can you point in the direction to remedy this (disable IIS?)
