Hi,

I’m trying to upgrade our wowza server to 4.0 and port the streaming from s3 app.

I’ve set it up based on the tutorial

However, no matter what rtmp url I use it always tries to find an mp4 and fails (even though I specify flv: and the extension is flv)

What am I missing?

Trying to play this:

rtmp://ec2-54-91-137-32.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1935/bnowvods3/_definst_/flv:amazons3/younowvideos\_dev/8c/b4/11\_6011264\_x264.flv

2014-07-15 08:35:09 EDT comment server WARN 200 - MediaCacheItemHTTPImpl.getItemInfo[younowvideos\_dev.s3.amazonaws.com/8c/b4/11\_6011264\_x264.mp4]: HTTP response: 404

Thanks,

Jonathan

NVM - when changing to upper case FLV it worked.

Hi Jonathan,

I just tried to play that stream with VLC player and it played perfectly first time.

rtmp://ec2-54-91-137-32.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1935/bnowvods3/_definst_/flv:amazons3/younowvideos\_dev/8c/b4/11\_6011264\_x264.flv

I see that the link provided is for a server running Wowza Streaming Engine 4.

Wowza Streaming Engine 4 Monthly Edition 4.0.0.00 build10425

What player are you using?

Regards,

Jason
