Stream not working on Ipad

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello;

I am trying to set up our Wowza server to stream to iOS devices using JWPlayer. You can see my sample page here: http://compassion.willowcreek.org/kc/

The flash streaming works fine. However, it is not working on the iPad. I followed the setup instructions for application.xml but still have not had any luck getting it to work.

Please advise.

Thanks,

KC

Here is a guide to doing this:

http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/18530/embedding-an-rtmp-stream-with-an-html5-fallback

Make sure it works in a HTML5 page with video tag and your playlist.m3u8 URL

<html>
<head> 
  <title>cupertinostreaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8">
</video>
</body>
</html>

Can you set /conf/weekend/Application.xml /RTP/Authentication/PlayMethod to: “none” so I can look in VLC?

Please show the /conf/weekend/Application.xml (wrapped in code blocks). Do you have the LiveStreamPacketizers set perhaps? That should be empty.

Oddly no playlist downloading here from browser:

http://media2.willowcreek.org:1935/weekend/WEmessage20101002-800k-801005.mp4/playlist.m3u8

Also odd that there is not Wowza version and build displayed at:

http://media2.willowcreek.org:1935

or

http://media2.willowcreek.org:1935

Are you sure this is a Wowza server?

First, put JW player and HTML5 fallback aside for the moment, test your m3u8 url with your own HTML5 page with video tag:

<html>
<head> 
  <title>cupertinostreaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8">
</video>
</body>
</html>

If not figured out, restart Wowza if you can, then run through tests of what works and what doesn’t work, then zip up and send /conf and /logs folders to support@wowza.com

Have you tried direct link as suggested? Take JW Player out of the picture. The link above does not work for me.

I don’t think port 1935 is open.

This works

But this doesn’t

Hello. It is still not working. I added the straight HTML5 code to the page for review(http://compassion.willowcreek.org/kc/). I want to make sure I have the Wowza server configurations set up right.

I added a folder under /admin and included application.xml in it and configured it for cupertino streaming. I restarted the server. But still no luck.

THanks

Richard. That is a good question. :slight_smile: I did not set up this server. We are streaming through flashplayers on it. And, I can say I have the same file streaming fine through a flash player on the Wowza server. So, I assume the Wowza server is working correctly. But, I would not be able to explain why there is no playlist or version/build. Could there be something on the server level not set up correctly?

I am attaching the code below.

Richard;

Here is a link using the code above: http://media2.willowcreek.org/test3.html

Richard - anymore advice on what could be the problem? Thanks.

Richard. I had our IS team open up access. You should be able to see the page now (http://media2.willowcreek.org/test3.html).

The page is simply HTML5 code - no JW player.

Any advice would be appreciated. THanks, KC
