We publish live streams from IP cam.
We need more format than RTMP, the “rtp-live” in Application.xml is not meet our requirement.
Can we start the live streams with URL queries like “Recording live streams with URL queries” in “How to record live steams” ?
I found “MediaCaster API” maybe can solve our problem, can someone tell me more ?
You could initiate a IP camera ingest via curl as follows:
curl --digest -u myuser:mypassword "http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/streammanager/streamAction?action=startStream" --data "vhostName=[vhostname]&appName=[appname]/[appinstance]&streamName=[streamname]&mediaCasterType=[mediacaster-option]"
// You can also utilize action=deleteStream and action=resetStream accordingly (if/when needed). The mediaCasterType parameter would not be needed in the latter two cases.
Alternatively, you can use the MediaCaster API and setup a HTTP Provider to implement it (such that you could invoke the http provider in a similar manner via HTTP).
I believe it must be a POST request so you won’t be able to place the url in a browser and expect the same results.
Thanks for reply.
I test the curl command, it works in linux.
Can I use the URL in windows? Maybe with IE or Chrome ?
