I don’t know how to put it but here are the things that I have.

1. I’ve set my Eclipse up to create a Wowza Media Server Module.

2. I also have my own Wowza Streaming Engine at Trial Version. I’m running it in EC2.

3. Copied the TranscoderOverlayExampleFiles at this link [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-add-graphic-overlays-to-live-streams-with-wowza-transcoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-add-graphic-overlays-to-live-streams-with-wowza-transcoder)

4. Enable the Encode field and the Overlay field at the trancode.xml configuration specifically at the 360p stream. In fact, this stream is the one that I’ve played back.

Now I tried displaying a different image though I know that the Wowza logo will still be there because it’s a trial. Still it doesn’t show. What am I missing? I only have two weeks in this project. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

Are you seeing any indication of the issue in the logs? You can start Wowza in stand alone mode using [wowza-install-dir]/bin/startup.bat|startup.sh and view the output in the console. When you start the stream in your encoder you should see a publish event, then much Transcoder related logging. Or you will see problems, ERROR and WARN lines.

Kind regards,

Salvadore

Thanks for the reply. I did not know that. What bugs me is that should I only copy the Transcoder Overlay Examples to the content and let it run or should I do something else? By the way, my Wowza Streaming Engine is not installed in my local but online. How should I code this way? Thaaaaaaaaanks. 🙂
