Hi Steve,

Have you worked through this guide:

[How to use miniCaster live stream encoder with Wowza Media Server](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-minicaster-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server)

Also make sure you are starting the stream using StreamManager or StartupStreams.xml

I hope this helps, please let us know if you need any more assistance.

hi Salvadore,

for tell the truth I use this encoder since 2012 without problem, using RTMP push like FMLE .

I have problem only now that have upgraded from 3.6.4 to v4 .

I don’t know if in v4 need allow other encoder user-agent like FMLE/FME/Wirecast for allow Minicaster,

you have some information about this ?

I don’t know why I’m unable to connect… no problem using FMLE .

thanks

steve
