Dear, Friends. I need help. We try to create a stream target and send a stream to Facebook via REST api. We already created an application on Facebook and got next permissions: manage\_pages publish\_pages publish\_video And one feature: Live Video API And now we try to create a stream target via REST. We have access token to application on facebook it looks like “id\_app|token” and we get an access token when client login to facebook – it looks like “EAAMJyMNMrW4BALI5MKFCElVhkST86wLPSdrgY2wa1ZCJvz7T7zfvgtMWO…” We use last one, when we create a stream target via REST. We build a json in that way: public static String JSON\_Stream\_target\_reznik ="{ “application”: “stream”, " + ““enabled”: true,” + "“entryName”: “facebook\_test\_timeline”, " + ““facebook.accessToken”: “%s”,” + ““facebook.description”: “this stream is good”,” + ““facebook.destId”: “580359529057496”,” + ““facebook.destName”: “page”,” + ““facebook.destType”: “page”,” + ““facebook.privacy”: “onlyMe”,” + ““facebook.title”: “Live Test”,” + ““facebook.useAppSecret”: “false”,” + ““profile”: “rtmp-facebook”,” + ““sourceStreamName”: “cam.stream”}”; We created a login button to Facebook: \ If I use Facebook api I can get an access token to page I do it with GET FB.api( ‘/580359529057496/?fields=access\_token’, ‘GET’, function(response) { console.log(response) }); And I got a response - access token to my page. We got next Errors in logs of our new stream target on wowza streaming engine: PushPublishFacebookHandler.FBMonitor.run(facebook\_test\_timeline:stream/_definst_/cam.stream) : com.wowza.wms.pushpublish.protocol.facebook.FacebookAuthorizationException|at com.wowza.wms.pushpublish.protocol.facebook.PushPublishFacebookUtil.a(PushPublishFacebookUtil.java:559)|at com.wowza.wms.pushpublish.protocol.facebook.PushPublishFacebookUtil.getPageToken(PushPublishFacebookUtil.java:373)|at com.wowza.wms.pushpublish.protocol.facebook.PushPublishFacebook.a(PushPublishFacebook.java:373)|at com.wowza.wms.pushpublish.protocol.facebook.PushPublishFacebook.f(PushPublishFacebook.java:15)|at com.wowza.wms.pushpublish.protocol.facebook.PushPublishFacebook$FBMonitor.run(PushPublishFacebook.java:185)| PushPublishFacebookUtil.detectAuthError[getPageToken]: Please Edit the stream target in WSEM and re-login to Facebook to acquire a new access token and then Save the target PushPublishFacebookUtil.detectAuthError[getPageToken]: Authentication issue.

UPD: my PushPublishMap.txt: cam.stream={“entryName”:“facebook\_test\_timeline”, “profile”:“rtmp-facebook”, “facebook.destName”:“page”, “debugLogChildren”:“true”, “facebook.accessToken”:“EAAMJyMNMrW4BAOZCt0sgb6HN9HqhIeZCZA51cIie…”, “facebook.privacy”:“onlyMe”, “facebook.destType”:“page”, “application”:“stream”, “facebook.description”:“this stream is good”, “debugLog”:“true”, “destinationName”:“facebook”, “facebook.title”:“Live Test”} as you can see, I can’t find “facebook.useAppSecret”: false, however json has it. If I add in custom properties facebook.useAppSecret false type Boolean I have next error in my logs: PushPublishFacebookHandler.init(facebook\_test\_timeline:stream/_definst_/cam.stream) Unsupported map key for profile:facebook.useAppSecret and now I can see in PushPublishMap.txt: cam.stream={“entryName”:“facebook\_test\_timeline”, “profile”:“rtmp-facebook”, “facebook.destName”:“page”, “debugLogChildren”:“true”, “facebook.accessToken”:“EAAMJyMNMrW4BAOZCt0sgb6HN9HqhIeZCZA51cIie…”, “facebook.destId”:“580359529057496”, “facebook.privacy”:“onlyMe”, “facebook.useAppSecret”:“false”, “facebook.destType”:“page”, “application”:“stream”, “facebook.description”:“this stream is good”, “debugLog”:“true”, “destinationName”:“facebook”, “facebook.title”:“Live Test”} I think it’s a problem with a parser, because it can’t find a map key. ---

When using the REST API to configure Wowza Streaming Engine to send a stream to Facebook Live, you must first use an external Facebook application that you’re developing to acquire a Facebook access token. Note the following requirements for the external Facebook application: - The app must have the required user and account permissions to post live videos to Facebook Live. - The app’s **Require App Secret** option must be disabled.
