Hello,
I has setup a Wowza Streaming Engine 4.0 for trial, after setup the live stream follow the information from this forum, I found a interesting problem.
In the beginning the live stream is not work, but after I try the record function (Application > live > incoming stream > (record this stream), I can watch the live stream using VLC even I stop the record function.
After restart the Wowza, same problem again, I need to use the record function to make the live stream start.
Any idea what is wrong ?
Thanks for any input.
Ricky

If you are trying to record the live stream as well, there are a couple options:
Easiest would be to change the StreamType for the application from “live” to “live-record”
Another option is :

A great place to start would be the Quick Start Guide

Hi Salvadore, Thanks for your infomation.
I am following the "How to publish and play a live stream (MPEG-TS based encoder) ", anyway, a server restart seems resolve the problem.
