RTMP Streaming Help Needed After Setup

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello Im new to the forums and kind of a amateur at all this so really need some help.

I’ll go into as much detail as i can to make it easier for someone to help me ok.

I got the trial of 3.5 media server first to see how easy it was to stream but i can’t manage to setup live streaming on my website that im in the middle of making.

So im trying to setup my media server but i am struggling and need some help as i want to stream live on a website im going to make.

Right this is what i have done so far and whats happening and whats going wrong.

Firstly i am using Windows 7

Im also using a wireless router (Sky router)

I installed the 3.5 trial and followed the tutorial video on setup

I clicked the Start>>Wowza Media Server 3.5.0 >> Wowza Startup

It went to the this page https://www.wowza.com/gettingstarted?type=Trial&lic=1358863200&x=01e701ef01e401f801e701e001ee01f801e601f801e5

and i clicked start and it said it could not connect to http://localhost:1935/vod

So i did a bit of digging and read that since i was using a wireless router i would need to do some port forwarding to 1935 so i went to my sky router and port forwarded the 1935.

Like this:

and i also did port 80 as well.

Then went back to the wowza getting started page https://www.wowza.com/gettingstarted?type=Trial&lic=1358863200&x=01e701ef01e401f801e701e001ee01f801e601f801e5 and clicked start and this time nothing came up on the status:

So instead i went here: https://www.wowza.com/resources/3.5.0/examples/VideoOnDemandStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html

Obviously typed in the right details and input them in adobe flash media encorder and clicked connect then start and this is what came up which i imported to manycam

So as you can see it is working live rtmp streams.

but what i need to know is how do i make it live on my website, ive read you need to change it to your public ip address mine is for example 93.25.37.129

So i input that into the rtmp page here: https://www.wowza.com/resources/3.5.0/examples/VideoOnDemandStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html and this is what happens:

it says: Connection failed: Try rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/vod

So i am lost now, I know how to stream on my localhost but don’t know how to make it public??

So can anyone help me out please as i am lost now and dont have a clue on what to do next.

Also one last thing i forgot to mention was you know when i click the “Wowza Startup button” it loads up in cmd as you know but goes off very quickly, So i managed to do a quick screen capture and this is what it said (Click the link below to see what it said as im only allowed to post 4 images so i put the link there as i have already used the maximum amount of images on my post.)

Does anyone know what that means??

Thanks in advance guys and i look forward to receiving a reply from you.

One other thing also i forgot to mention is that when i input the rtmp url (rtmp://93.25.37.129:1935/live adobe flash media live encoder i get this error:

" Problem with Primary Server

Failure to connect to primary server URL and application name are valid and that your internet connection is working and retry."

I cannot reach that server on port 1935 or 80:

http://93.25.37.129:1935

http://93.25.37.129

Either Wowza is not running at the location, or the ports are block or not properly mapped in your network. You probably have to setup port-forwarding in your router. Take a look at portforward.com to see if they have your router, or look at the router’s guide.
