Hello,

i have an IP camera (at the moment Axis) which should not stream all the time, only on demand.

Can wowza streaming engine demand the stream and than send it to a user?

Best regards

Tobias

Hey there @Tobias Schneider, You would set the ‘StreamType’ to ‘rtp-live’ in the file [install-dir]/conf/[MyApplicationName]/Application.xml

This was designed exactly for the purpose of on-demand ingestion of a RTP/MPEG-TS stream.

As you described this would allow the first player that requests the stream to actually start it up. The stream will stop 60 seconds after the person stops watching it.

Hello @Rose Power,

I also restarted. Here is my config: application.zip
