Hi,

We are building a live streaming infrastructure with multiple WSE origins pushing to Azure Media Services Live Channels.

I’m trying to push an RTMP stream to my **Azure Media Services** Live channel using **Stream Target** on WSE **4.5.0**

**Azure gives me the following syntax for RTMP ingest :**

**rtmp://_myChannelName_.channel.mediaservices.windows.net:1935/live/_GUID_**

**I’ve tried several combinations of host / application / instance / stream name but as soon I start the Stream Target I get the following error:**

 

**```auto
PushPublishRTMP.sessionClosed[rtmp://myChannelName.channel.mediaservices.windows.net:1935/live/GUID/livestream]: RTMP session closed unexpectedly. Retrying in 3000 msec**

**```**

 

**For information with FMLE, FFMPEG, Wirecast, it works with any stream name and the following syntax:**

**Server : rtmp://myChannelName.channel.mediaservices.windows.net:1935/live/GUID/**

**Stream Name : Anything**

**Thank you**

Hi,

We don’t have any specific stream target profiles for Azure but I believe it acts as a generic RTMP ingest point. I have seen issues in the past with Azure Media Services that was fixed by adding the following to the specific stream target map entry in [install-dir]/conf/[app-name]/PushPublishMap.txt

howToPublish:“live”

e.g.

```auto
myStream={profile:"rtmp", host:"xxx.channel.mediaservices.windows.net", application:"live", appInstance:"12345abcde12345abcde", streamName:"az-stream-name", howToPublish:"live", debugLog: true}

```

Regards,

Paul
