Streaming Engine Manager Not Showing Defined Applications

Hello,

I’m having a problem on Windows Server 2012 R2 where the Streaming Engine Manager on Wowza 4,1,1 is not showing manually defined applications. Normally I don’t care but since I am virtually unable to setup the pushpublish module without the engine manager seeing the application I am forced to use it.

Any ideas?

Tried multiple computers

Tried clearing cache

Tried restart server

Tried opening up all security permissions to the files

The applications are working fine in terms of streaming, using the transcoder, etc. and the logs show no errors. I’m at a loss at what to do now, any ideas?

Another bit of information.

If I grab the Application.xml in the application folder with PowerShell it seems to work fine. Normally something that would make the XML unreadable would show up this way.

PS > [xml]$appconf = Get-Content C:\Wowza\conf\uy1Lrw_live\Application.xml -Encoding UTF8

$appconf.root.application

Figured it out.

UTF-8 BOM. Open in Notepad++ use encoding–> UTF-8 without BOM, save, voila.
