Just got a request from a producer to push a live stream through our infrastructure. The problem is that their encoder will only accept one value for settings and I need to incorporate the stream name into the RTMP URL. This is a bit weird to me as I am not familiar with the encoder and do not have it in front of me. What I would normally give: RTMP URL: rtmp://www.streamer.com:1935/live StreamName: Live\_1\_1@123456 so how do I take that and dump into a single URI, which I thought might be this: rtmp://www.streamer.com:1935/live/Live\_1\_1@123456 but alas, no. Any thoughts? ---

That should be correct, you can also try rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]:[port]/[application]/[appInstance]/[prefix]:[path1]/[path2]/[streamName] rtmp://www.streamer.com:1935/live/_definst_/Live\_1\_1@123456 (otherwise check your wowza error log to see what stream was requested / should be been requested)
