[Tandberg/Wowza4] Problem with RTSP announcement

Hello,

I have a problem with publishing tandberg to my wowza server. When I save the Media Server configuration I’ve got the message

Live unicast streaming will not be available with this Media server configuration. RTSP announce failed to server

I have fallowed the http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/tcs/5_0/media_servers/configuration/guide/wowza.fm.html article to set up.

When tandberg is trying to validate settings It seems it reaches the wms but no streams are available. These are the lines in accses log when tanberg is checking settings:

2014-07-09	08:10:32	CEST	app-start	application	INFO	200	_definst_	_defapp_/_definst_	-	-	-	1116778.196	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	--	-	-	-	-	-

All ports are also open. Password is correctly set in conf/publisher.password. Any hints what could be wrong?

Hi,

The instructions you’re following now outdated. I see they tell you to create [Wowza-Install]/applications/defapp/ but not [Wowza-Install]/conf/defapp/, this means the application will use the [Wowza-Install]/conf/Application.xml file which is configured to block published streams using RTSP. If you’re using Wowza Streaming Engine Manager, you can create a live application called defapp which will create both locations and add the Application.xml file to the conf/defapp / directory. the default for a live application is to require a username/password. I recommend testing with this as “Open (no authentication required)” to see if you have the correct username/password combination.

To edit publishing authentication please see the article below for assistance.
