Legacy UDP mutlicast streaming to iphone.

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Our goals is to setup a video streaming platform to play the multicast stream for different kinds of pc and mobile clients, such as , iphone, andriod sliverlight and flash etc…

  1. For video clip streaming, Thanks wowza, I downloaded the evaluation version and I can set up my first http live streaming video in my window xp pc.

  2. however, when I start to work the live streaming, it seems that I am fail.

  • What I did is

1.) copy the sample.mp4 file, which comes with wowza evalutaion version in content folder, to another PC .

2.) start to stream the sample.mp4 by using VLC (Legacy UDP streaming , udp://239.192.1.2:40002). I tried to use VLC to check I can see the stream.

3.) create a file “mpegts.stream” in content folder.

4.) start wowza media server

5.) login to stream manager by using this link , http://127.0.0.1:8086/streammanager/index.html .

6.) click " start receiving stream" and type the “mpegts.stream”.

7.) type this link to iphone http://wowzaip:wowzport/myapplication/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8

8.) i see the following message in wowza server console (the file is missing “moov” atom.)

Any idea on what i should do please?

None of the devices you mentioned support multicast. So what you are trying to do is not going to work.

You also have a mixture of instructions for live and video on demand streaming. The tutorials for streaming are all sticky posts here:

I suggest you read through the Quick Start guide as well:

Lovelace,

First, create a plain text file with a .stream extension in the content folder, call it upd.stream and make sure your text editor does not add .txt extension:

/content/upd.stream

Make the contents of this file “udp://209.51.184.250:7178”

Then, use StreamManager to start stream “udp.stream” on a application with StreamType “live” or “rtp-live” (it is best in this case to use StreamType “live”) with MediaCaster Type “rtp”

Then you will play this url in iOS devices:

http://209.51.184.250:1935/EXAFM/upd.stream/playlist.m3u8

It’s best to use HTML video tag instead of anchor (a) tag.

<html>
<head> 
  <title>Cupertino Streaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://209.51.184.250:1935/EXAFM/upd.stream/playlist.m3u8">
</video>
</body>
</html>

Thanks, I’ve sort out the problem and I can work out what I want.
