live streaming question - possible with separate audio source?

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

i am pretty new to the topic, but so far i like the wowza server a lot.

i would like to broadcast a live stream with a video coming from a playlist and an audio coming from somewhere different, e.g from a radio. I have followed the tutorials, set up a scheduler and a transcoder based on them, have a pretty nice functioning playlist but with it’s own voice so to say. During the switch between the tracks there is a typical noise which is not that nice. so I would like to put a smooth audio layer on it. At the end I should have one stream only (our customer insists), so a video only output and the audio only output with two flash players on client side is not a possible solution here. :frowning: Anyone has some advice, how to do it?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Zsuzsanna

This was also support ticket 33167

There’s a way to do this, but not in the scheduler example code.

You can have a Flash player which has two NetStream connections, one for the audio and the other for the video. Both of those two streams can be defined in the scheduler.
