I have downloaded standalone server on Mac at : https://www.wowza.com/pricing/installer ,and install the app at : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wowza-gocoder/id640338185?ls=1&mt=8
But I can not connect to local server though I have changed : Host (Server and Port),Application, Streaming name, Source authentication in the app but the streaming get restart multiple times.
Please give me a hint. Thanks.
Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.
When navigating to localhost:1935 in a browser you should see the Wowza version number. If not please restart(or start) Wowza in stand-alone mode. [install-dir]/bin/startup.bat|startup.sh
Check the console output for any errors in startup and please post back what you discover.

I did as you said , and got the result like this: Wowza Streaming Engine 4 Trial Edition (Expires: Nov 23, 2016) 4.4.1 build17882. When I tried to use the app with configuration:
Host (Server: 192.168.10.120 and Port: 1935)
Application: vod
Streaming name: mp4:sample.mp4
Source authentication: my username/password
But I can not connect with local server to view live streaming.
When using GoCoder to publish a live stream to Wowza Streaming Engine, you need to connect to the a live streaming application such as the pre-configured “live” application.
Once you’ve published the stream using GoCoder, you should then be able to play this back using the Test Players which can be found in Wowza Streaming Engine Manager.
If you’re unsuccessful after ensuring that Wowza Streaming Engine is started, to ensure this is not a authentication issue please test remove the authentication for RTMP on the “live” application. In Wowza Streaming Engine Manager this will be on the “Applications > live > Source Security” page. Here you will click Edit and choose “Open (no authentication required)” for RTMP and then Save. After editing a restart of the application is required.
More information about using GoCoder can be found in the articles below.

It sounds like you are trying to access a live stream through a VOD application?
Do you have a live stream available? Either an encoder or IP camera sending a stream to Wowza?
What is the playback URL you are using? You can test your Wowza installation by navigating to this URL in an iOS device browser:
http//192.168.10.120:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8
But to play a live stream, lets say the live stream is called “myStream” you would need to use this URL:
http//192.168.10.120:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8
Please take a look at these guides for configuring a live application:
