We have had other report issue with the Sybmian based phones. We do not have a solution at this time. Charlie ---

Hi Charlie. Are there any way to use the direct shoutcast address on the iPhone URL instead to use files like radiostation.stream? On Flash is possible to send the shoutcast URL using Actionscript. And with Cupertino? Thanks Ronaldo ---

The stream type should be **live**. The media caster type should be **shoutcast**. Charlie ---

It would be worth trying with patch8. The RTSP/RTP model has been improved. I don’t have a phone with which to test. Charlie ---

Try this patch. I did a bit of work and was able to get it to work with Nokia N97 phone: [WowzaMediaServer2.0.0-patch9](https://www.wowza.com/downloads/WowzaMediaServer-2-0-0/WowzaMediaServer2.0.0-patch9.zip) You may want to first be sure you can play the stream using a player such as VLC. Then try the Nokia phone. Try a very low bitrate H.264 Baseline level 3.0 or lower AAC stream. Charlie ---

There should be no change to Silverlight. Are you doing Silvelright live or video on demand. We did update the default Silverlight Manifest version number to 2. You may need to use the more recent beta player. It is here: > **To play using Microsoft Silverlight:** - Download the Smooth Streaming player from here: [IIS\_Smooth\_Streaming\_Player\_Development\_Kit\_1.0\_Beta\_2.exe](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2b1ce605-3b99-49ad-8a26-1250f2acbbf6) - Double click **IIS\_Smooth\_Streaming\_Player\_Development\_Kit\_1.0\_Beta\_2.exe** to extract the player - Edit **Default.html** and change the **mediaSource** property (line 85) to: - Double click **Default.html** and the video will begin to play. ---

Move to the latest patch: [https://www.wowza.com/devbuild.html](https://www.wowza.com/devbuild.html) Remember you must use the “live” stream type and use the stream manager to start the stream. Charlie ---

I edited the post above, changed this: [http://localhost:1935/streammanager](http://localhost:1935/streammanager) To this: [http://localhost:8086/streammanager](http://localhost:8086/streammanager) And took out reference to mpeg-ts stream. Quickstart guide also needs first change… Richard ---

It is “shoutcast”. I changed above, the quickstart is right. Richard ---

This limitation of the developer license is reached because Wowza is doing HTTP streaming whether or not you are viewing the stream in a player. Richard ---

Use the shoutcast application, but it should work in application with StreamType “live” or “rtp-live”. You only need to start a shoutcast stream in streammanager to play in IPhone. If Flash player is the client, it’s not neccessary. Richard ---

I don’t think so. Richard ---

The limitation in the Wowza Developer license for Live HTTP Streaming is not related to player connections. It is the number of streams and time. These streams are being generated (chunked) by Wowza whether a player is playing them or not, so you can reach the limit without making any player connections. This is just about Live HTTP Streaming, and it is only a limitation of the Developer License. You can request a 30 day evaluation license that does not have this limit. And it is not limit of Perpetual, Subscription or Wowza on EC2. Send eval license request to request@wowza.com Richard ---

If you use StreamType “live” for a shoutcast application, you have to start the stream with StreamManager I tested these two streams but they don’t seem to be running: ```auto http://66.90.104.245:8062 http://1dance.fm ``` Richard ---
