Hi,

I’m streaming live content to iOS and Android Phones already through Wawza and JWPlayer.

I’d like to do same for Windows Phone Devices, but currently this does not work for me. I can already stream data from a file through Wowza and JWPlayer plays it nicely. But as soon as I configure Wowza to send a live stream, JWPlayer displays “Invalid Source”. SilverLight Plugins don’t Install on Windows phones, so this is not an option. I also don’t want to install an additional app on Windows Phone, but play the Stream in a Website.

I have learned, that I have to use MP4 Container for Streaming. (HLS does not work: [https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/ff462087%28v=vs.105%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#BKMK\_VideoSupport](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/ff462087%28v=vs.105%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#BKMK_VideoSupport)).

Question is: how do I configure Wowza to create a Live Stream (not from a File) to play the content on Windows Phone?

Best, Geri-m

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way of doing this on a Windows phone, which I’m aware of. Most customers are developing or utilizing custom apps to accomplish this.

You may find the links below as useful to you for your streams:
