Hi

I want to stop an ongoing stream using HTTPprovider. So that from an external script I can control that. Please, advice.

Actually I want to restrict unwanted stream from being publish.

Regards

Hello,

You may find the following [article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-blacklist-a-stream-in-session-blackliststreams%28ServerListenerBanStreams%29) helpful as it describes how to “ban” streams in session.

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your great help. But still HTTP://[wowza-ip]:8086/ban showing only Server version. These are the following steps I followed.

1. I download WowzaServerAddOnCollection\_4.0.zip from [https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/collection/WowzaServerAddOnCollection\_4.0.zip](https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/collection/WowzaServerAddOnCollection_4.0.zip) and put wms-plugin-collection.jar file at /lib

2. Add com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.serverlistener.ServerListenerBanStreams at Server \> Server Setup \> Server Listener

3. Don’t want to keep ban list so I had not those properties at Application’s propertiey panel.

4. then I add

com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.http.HTTPProviderBanStreams

ban\*

admin-digest

at /conf/VHost.xml

then restart the server, but still not working. I think, I made some mistake. Please help (I am using Wowza 4.2)

Thank you

Projjwal

p.s. I fixed I put the HTTPProvider after HTTPServerVersion. now I just put that before HTTPServerVersion and its working just fine :). Thank you.

Hi Projjwal,

If you are seeing the Server version when calling http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/ban URL, then your HTTPProviderBanStreams is likely in the incorrect order.

Make sure that you have this HTTPProvider as the last in the list:

```auto
					<HTTPProvider>
						<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPServerVersion</BaseClass>
						<RequestFilters>*</RequestFilters>
						<AuthenticationMethod>none</AuthenticationMethod>
					</HTTPProvider>

```

This is the catch-all for all URL requests. Any HTTPProvider added after this entry will not be recognized.
