NewTek Tricaster Streaming

Ok so I have had many problems trying to get this to work correctly. I followed this guide that was on another post and have had no success getting it to work. The settings that the tricaster are asking for are the type of stream, the url of the stream, the stream instance and the username and password.

I set the type of stream to a push stream at 384kbps. I set the url of the stream to rtmp://204.232.170.219:10006/tricaster. I then set the stream instance to tricaster.stream. I did not give it a username or password because it does not need that, at least I dont think it does.

On the Wowza side I have created a folder called tricaster in the conf folder and copied the Application.xml file in there and changed the streamtype to live. I think created a folder in applications called tricaster. I also created a tricaster.stream file in the content folder that pointed to udp://0.0.0.0:10006.

Everytime we try to stream from tricaster it tells us to check the url and try again. Have I missed something or is streaming from tricaster not possible?

The Tricaster is an RTMP based encoder. Here is what I would do:

On the Tricaster side:

  • When you publish the stream use the following info (remove port 10006):

    Server URL: rtmp://204.232.170.219/tricaster
    Stream name: myStream
    
    

    On the Wowza side:

  • Delete the file [install-dir]/content/tricaster.stream

  • In [install-dir]/conf/tricaster/Application.xml be sure the Streams/StreamType is set to live

  • When you play the stream use the following info:

    Server URL: rtmp://204.232.170.219/tricaster
    Stream name: myStream

Adding :1935 is fine.

I was actually just about to reply to the thread and tell you I got it working. I did do what you said except that instead of just removing the port 10006 and leaving it with just 204.232.170.219 I put 1935 on the end of it: 204.232.170.219:1935/tricaster.

I am guessing that this is the same thing? If not and that is going to cause a problem down the road let me know and I will remove it.

I will remove the tricaster.stream and file and try it again to see if it is still working.

Thanks again Charlie.
