Hi,

I configured the Application.xml of my application (/conf/live/Application.xml), and created .stream file (was verified the extension) with one URL of RTMP.

I configured the StartupStreams.xml too, for my stream to start with server.

But when to start Server, the console shows:

INFO server comment - RTPSessionDescriptionDataProviderBasic.getStreamInfo[live/_definst_]: /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content/rtmp://mydomain:8080/ live/home\_mid

WARN server comment - RTPSessionDescriptionDataProviderBasic.getStreamInfo: SDP file missing: /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content/rtmp://mydomain:8080/live/home\_mid

How can see, was showed my URL, but says that SDP file missing.

Why? Need to configure one more thing?

Thanks!

Yes, monthly edition license provides access to the premium AddOns, including Wowza Transcoder. That message indicates that another type of license is in place in the [install-dir]/conf/Server.license file. If that is not the problem, you can email your Server.license file and a zip of your logs folder to support@wowza.com for further analysis.

I think that solved my problem.

I changed StartupStreams.xml:

from rtp

to liverepeater

But now, when i start Wowza server, console shows:

\*\*\* Hit license limit for publishing streams. Publishing stream is stopped. \*\*\*

\*\*\* Wowza Transcoder is not licensed. \*\*\*

My License is Wowza Media Server 3 Monthly Edition, AddOn Transcoder should be available, right?

[EDITED]

i already have one application with streamschedule.smil, i created other to use transcoder

Thanks

Ok. I will do this.

If i use one application only with transcoder, the console shows “Wowza Transcoder is not licensed” but works. But if i use one application with transcoder and streamchedule or two application, one with transcoder and other with streamschedule, console shows:

\*\*\* Hit license limit for publishing streams. Publishing stream is stopped. \*\*\*

\*\*\* Wowza Transcoder is not licensed. \*\*\*

and not works.

I will send e-mail.

Thanks Lisa.
