Trying to connect s3 bucket.

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello i am trying to use the vod3 module on the ec2 instance of wowza to access files stored on my s3 bucket. I have edited the MediaCache.xml file and put in my awsAccessKeyId and awsSecretAccessKey but when i try and play myfile i get the error “source stream or file not found or access denied”

the file location in my s3 bucket is

https://s3.amazonaws.com/Mediaforwowza/Film/test.mp4

and the address in the player is

http://SERVER_IP:1935/vod3/_definst_/mp4:amazons3/Mediaforwowza/Film/test.mp4/manifest.f4m

or

http://SERVER_IP:1935/vod3/_definst_/mp4:amazons3/Mediaforwowza/Film/test.mp4

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Oh. I have also granted authenticated users to my s3 bucket, but this has not helped.

Hi,

Did you configure your Media Cache application using the instructions described in the “How to scale video on demand streaming with Media Cache” forum article?

Here is the direct link to the section describing how to add the S3 source.

I tried opening the rtsp stream in vlc and got this error

RTSP connection failed:
Access to the stream is denied by the server configuration.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://SERVER_IP:1935/vod3/_definst_/amazons3/Mediaforwowza/Film/test.mp4'

Hello thanks for the reply.

I followed these steps an i think i have found the problem. the check box which states “use amazon S3 bucket name in domain” is checked. When this is checked i notice the address resolved is wrong for finding the file on the bucked as the address given is,

http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/mypath/sample.mp4

But when it is unchecked the domain is correct.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/mypath/sample.mp4

Only problem is i cannot seem to uncheck this button, i uncheck it, save my config, and re-enter into config page and see that the button is checked again?

I have managed to remove this checkbox manually by editing the MediaCache.xml file and changing the value from true to false as shown below. I can view the stream directly with the link provided http://SERVER_IP:8088/enginemanager/Home.htm#server/defaultVHost/mediaCache ----> Validate Configuration but not when trying to use the server address in the test player or vlc the file will still not play.

<Property>
<Name>s3BucketNameInDomain</Name>
<Value>false</Value>
<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

I have noticed a few errors in the log file which appear each time i try and play the file, maybee they can help.

Application folder ([install-location]/applications/vod3) is missing
