https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder

But how to send RTMPS stream to Wowza server?

I try to change rtmp://… to rtmps://… when setup on encoder but it do not work.

Thank in advance.

Best regards,

You need to have an SSL certificate to do anything HTTPS and/or RTMPS.

Wowza Streaming Engine can use an SSL certificate. We provide a free StreamLock SSL certificate to our paid customers.

You can instead use your own SSL certificate if you wish. Note that once you create the JKS file you can install the certificate using the StreamLock method.

Dear Kevin Moore,

Thank for your quick reply.

Base on your answer, I success to create SSL certificate and apply it to Wowza Streaming Engine.

But I do not success in sending stream to Wowza Streaming Engine yet.

Could you please give me an example for RTMPS URL to send rtmps stream to Wowza Streaming Engine like: rtmps://10.5.3.32:443/live/ghoststream

Best regards,

Dear Kevin Moore,

Base on your answer, I create the SSL certificate and try to add virtual host setup on Wowza Streaming Engine.

After saving, I try to restart virtual host setup but I continuously loading and do not stop. I need to reload the whole web page.

Then if I stream to Wowza Streaming Engine by URL: rtmps://10.5.3.32:443/live/teststream

(10.5.3.32 is my CPU IP address); connection does not setup and it show error on my encoder:

ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, TLS_Connect failed

Do you have any suggestion for this problem?

Thank in advance.

Best regards,

Dear Kevin Moore,

After create SSL certificate and try to add new host ports; I cannot restart virtual host setup. Do you have any idea for this problem?

P.S. I use Developer Licence to generate SSL certificate with Wowza Streaming Engine StreamLock service

Best regards,

SSL does not work with IP addresses. You need to use the DNS name of your certificate.
