Steaming delay in RTMP using Wowza 3 on EC2

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I’m using Wowza to restream content from an IP camera (setup using guide https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming). I’ve set up Wowza’s instance ami-9d5069e9 using aki-64695810 on EC2 devpay account.

When I connect some player to this instance using RTMP, like JWPlayer or FlowPlayer, it’s takes around 40 seconds before video starts. This can be seen on my test webpage http://h2sa2004.mhlabs.net/h2sa2004/Test.aspx

The server public DNS is: ec2-50-17-150-83.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Stream name is: killruddery.steam

Now this lag is really something making the solution impractical. I need some way to remove this.

Take a look at this guide:

You may just have to increase the FPS setting.
