Hello,
I’m trying to run the live streaming example on my server but in the browser it keeps telling me: “Failed to play test.stream; stream not found.”
The file test.stream is in the content folder, and still it fails to find it for some reason, I’ve followed the tutorial precisely.
There are no errors in the logs and in the console the info I get is:
INFO session connect-pending x.x.x.x -
INFO session connect x.x.x.x
INFO stream create
The simple video streaming example works fine and it plays the sample video from the content folder without any problems, however the live example fails to find the live test.stream file eventhough it’s on the same folder, I tried renaming but same thing.
Please help, I’m stuck. I’ve disabled the firewall, but no difference, in the browser it keeps saying that the file isn’t found.

test.stream might be test.stream.txt. Windows hides known extensions, so it might not be obvious

Try 10002 instead. Also see:

Take a look at the Wowza jitter buffer:

You probably have “sanjosestreamingpacketizer” set in the /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /Streams /LiveStreamPacketizers. This should be empty for vod, like this
```auto
```

Apparently the default folder in Application.xml wasn’t right, now it works thanks 🙂
However, it’s playing the stream only if I send it to port 10000, if I change the port for example to 10001 from the publishing software and in the .stream file it doesn’t work. Firewall is off. Can you please advise?

Changing the ip number in the .stream file from 127.0.0.1 to the server ip did it 🙂
Is it a bad practice to allow different users to stream to the server via different ports simultaneously?
I also noticed that the streaming missed a lot of chunks and the output wasn’t that good, even when I streamed a small mp3 file. Is it because I’m using UDP (in the .stream file udp://x.x.x.x:10000), is there a more reliable alternative?
Thanks guys

Richard,

Any ideas? I´m kind of stuck in this problem.
