I’m trying to get the livestream plugin from jwplayer to work with my wowza stream. my stream has a security token and it looks like the plugin doesnt handle that. ```auto INFO server comment - SecureURLParams.onAppStart: hodtv_live/_definst_ INFO application app-start _definst_ hodtv_live/_definst_ INFO session connect-pending xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - INFO session connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - INFO stream create - - INFO server comment - SecureURLParams: play: rejected ``` my livestream code is : ```auto livestream.streamer=rtmp://myurl/hodtv_live/_definst_/doConnect=connecttoken&livestream.file=live.sdp ``` this is my application ```auto secureTokenSharedSecret verysecret secureurlparams.connect connecttoken.doConnect secureurlparams.publish Tokenpub.doPublish ``` the stream works perfect with just jw-player and token build in the source code. here is the source for livestream plugin: ```auto package com.jeroenwijering.plugins { import com.jeroenwijering.events.*; import com.jeroenwijering.utils.Logger; import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; import flash.utils.setTimeout; import flash.text.*; /** * This plugin automatically polls an RTMP stream for availability every XX seconds. * If the stream is available, it will kick in. * It allows users to wait for a live event without having to refresh their page. **/ public class Livestream extends MovieClip implements PluginInterface { [Embed(source="../../../animation.swf")] private const Animation:Class; / **Background image.** / private var back:Sprite; / **List with configuration settings.** / public var config:Object = { file:undefined, image:undefined, interval:15, message:'Checking for livestream...', streamer:undefined, tags:undefined }; / **Netconnection instance to check availability.** / private var connection:NetConnection; / **The number times the plugin tried to connect.** / private var count:Number = 0; / **The textfield showing all messages.** / private var field:TextField; / **Netstream instance to check availability.** / private var stream:NetStream; / **Reference to the view.** / private var view:AbstractView; / **Constructor.** / public function Livestream():void { connection = new NetConnection(); buildStage(); }; / **Build all stage graphics.** / private function buildStage():void { back = new Sprite(); back.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0.6); back.graphics.drawRect(0,0,300,70); addChild(back); var anm:DisplayObject = new Animation(); anm.x = 134; anm.y = 10; addChild(anm); field = new TextField(); field.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat('_sans',13,0xFFFFFF,null,null,null,null,null,TextFormatAlign.CENTER); field.width = 300; field.height = 20; field.y = 45; addChild(field); mouseEnabled = false; visible = false; }; / **Try connecting to the livestream.** / private function checkStream():void { count++; connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,statusHandler); connection.connect(config['streamer']); visible = true; setTimeout(hide,2000); Logger.log('checking for stream; attempt: '+count,'livestream'); }; / **Hide the icon again after a check.** / private function hide():void { visible = false; }; /** * Start the plugin. * * @param vie A reference to the View of the player; the API entrypoint. **/ public function initializePlugin(vie:AbstractView):void { view = vie; if(!config['tags'] || config['tags'] == view.config['tags']) { view.config['icons'] = false; view.config['repeat'] = 'always'; setTimeout(checkStream,2000); view.addControllerListener(ControllerEvent.RESIZE,resizeHandler); field.text = config['message']; } }; / **The livestream is found.

Make sure you are only using the SecureURLParams module, which includes the functionality of SecureToken. If you have both, that could be a problem. See note at bottom of package readme.html From what I can see it looks right. I would try it with plain JW Player without plugin, see if that works first. Richard ---

I’m wonder if this plug-in is actually useful with Wowza. All it does is poll for a live stream if it does not exist when play starts, and will play it when it publishes. But I think JW player will do that without the polling mechanism (?) Richard ---

Okay, that makes sense. Nice feature if it works. I think you are right, you will have to put the secureToken in the plugin, because the connection is established and handled in the plugin. Richard ---

Also noticing that you are using secureURLParams (doConnect). You don’t need it and it will be a problem to include the ampersand “&” in stream Flashvar Just use SecureToken. Richard ---

without thw plugin it works perfect. only when i activate the plugin i get that error message… so my gues is that it has something to do with the token ```auto secureTokenSharedSecret verysecret ``` in jw palyer itself i enterd the verysecret as token in the source code. but i think i need to do that with the livestream plugin as well. as it also tryes to connect. But i’m realy not good with flash and its actionscript ---

well i’m using 2 stream… 1 live stream and one stream that is localy streamed to wowza with vlc ffor not live events… So jwplayer sould play not\_live but if some dj starts stream at live it sould make the switch to that stream… and when live is gone it sould go back to not\_live And as far as i know this plugin sould do the job ---
