Hello,

I’m dealing with Wowza live. I create an app with Api. When I look at the broadcast page, transcoder processes are done. I already created the smil file. The url I use to watch the broadcast:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/testlive/test.smil/playlist.m3u8

It works when I create a live app from the panel but it doesn’t work when I create a live app with api. I couldn’t see the error exactly. Where am I making mistakes?

I test it in theo player, there is no image.

I wonder if I’m missing something in api request

api request i use:

curl --digest -u “[username]:[password]” -X POST -H ‘Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8’ \

-H ‘Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8’ http://[wowza-ip-address]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive

Hello, because the forums are not an official source of wowza technical support, all code review and debugging requires a support ticket. You can submit one here and we’d be happy to get this set up with you correctly. We’ll need to look at several files. Thanks.
