I did the following request use REST API, but it returns this error: The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. I am quite not so sure what to write in two restURI. Helps please. { “restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams”, “serverName”: “”, “saveFieldList”: [ “” ], “version”: “”, “Streams”: [ { “restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams”, “mediaCasterType”: “rtp”, “instance”: “”, “serverName”: “”, “saveFieldList”: [ “” ], “version”: “”, “streamName”: “main2.stream”, “applicationName”: “544299-1” } ] } ---

It should like this, but it still have the same error. Request URL: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams” And body: { “restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams”, “version”: “1445839700752”, “Streams”: [ { “restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams/applications/544299-1/instances/_definst_/streams/main2.stream”, “mediaCasterType”: “liverepeater”, “instance”: “_definst_”, “streamName”: “main2.stream”, “applicationName”: “544299-1” } ] } ---

Hello You might try the following example: ```auto curl -X POST --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://[B][wowza-server][/B]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams -d'{ "appName": "[B][app-name][/B]", "mediaCasterType": "rtp", "instance": "_definst_", "serverName": "_defaultServer_", "streamName": "[B][stream-file-name][/B]", "version": "1446125518000" }' ``` This returned successful for me: ```auto {"success":true,"message":"Saved","data":null} ``` Ensure you replace the following: **[wowza-server]** - with your wowza url (ex. localhost) **[app-name]** - with your app name (ex. 544299-1) **[stream-file-name]** - with your stream file name (ex. main2.stream) Thanks, Matt ---

It’s java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. finaly I can add a start up stream one item at a time, it’s enough for me. but I still wonder I did add array right. ---

You can try with the following CURL command **LIST** **Startup Streams** ```auto curl -X GET --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://[B][wowza-server][/B]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams ``` **ADD** Startup Stream ```auto curl -X POST --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://[B][wowza-server][/B]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams -d'{ "appName": "demo", "mediaCasterType": "rtp", "instance": "_definst_", "serverName": "_defaultServer_", "streamName": "ip.stream" } ``` **MODIFY** Startup Stream ```auto curl -X PUT --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://[B][wowza-server][/B]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams/applications/demo/instances/_definst_/streams/ip.stream -d'{ "appName": "demo", "mediaCasterType": "rtp", "instance": "_definst_", "serverName": "_defaultServer_", "streamName": "anotherip.stream" }' ``` **DELETE** Startup Stream ```auto curl -X DELETE --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://[B][wowza-server][/B]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams/applications/demo/instances/_definst_/streams/ip.stream ``` ---

These API calls are not documented in the official guide. It’s frustrating to have to find Wowza’s information by luck.
