Here we have this appliance, the Niagara Pro II by ViewCast ([http://www.viewcast.com/products/niagara-systems/niagara-pro2](http://www.viewcast.com/products/niagara-systems/niagara-pro2))

We want to use that appliance to stream our content to Wowza.

Does this work with Wowza?

Most likely, I’m sure yes.

Try removing the sprops-parameter-sets value from the sdp data. Wowza expects there to be two values for this property (separated by comma). If we only get one it is a problem. If the property does not exist we might be able to generate from sps and pps nal units in the stream.

I’m not sure. Follow this guide and post the result recording, then send a link to support@wowza.com

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-incoming-streams-for-debugging-purposes-mpeg-ts-rtp](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-incoming-streams-for-debugging-purposes-mpeg-ts-rtp)

Include a link to this thread for reference

It might be next week, but we’ll take a look and see.

It sounds like a connectivity problem on the client side, and probably not having anything to do with the encoder or stream method.

What is the client?

Not specifically, but you have to start 2 or more streams and create a smil file to stream with.

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-video-recording](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-video-recording)

For ABR switching to work each stream must be key frame aligned. You can use debug alignment like this:

Richard,

We have a problem using adaptive multi bitrate profile on the Niagara Pro II encoder with the Wowza 2 server. It started fine, but on the client’s side we are getting video with the msg “Connecting to server, please wait…”

Please advise

Richard,

Are there any instructions how to configure Niagara Pro II Encoder to start Mutli-bitrate Flash streaming with Wowza server?

Thanks
