Hi everybody,

I have a question. I have 2 wowza software. What could be the reason why REST API works on one and not the other? When connecting my streaming files it also gives an error that the stream file is not found.

Did you get this resolved? It probably had to do with some of the breaking changes that were introduced in between 4.8.0 and 4.8.12. Some of them did involve REST API user authentication changes that were fixed in 4.8.8-01

The problem was due to the absence of the application in the live name.  
Thank you for your help.
