Urgent: Crypt Live Stream or play file during World Cup game

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

We’re broadcasting about TV signal via IP using Wowza Server.

We bought broadcasting right for the Word Cup but it’s only valid within our country territory.

For this reason we would like an automatic solution to fallback (play another video) or stop streams during such hours.

We have Wowza Transcoder turned ON.

Thanks

Hi ilimaan. i havent tried this yet. but this might help you? or give you a start in the right direction.

You are using -2 as the start value for a file, which is not correct. A start value of “-2” tells Wowza that the source is a live stream rather than a file. When it is a file, use “0” or a positive number less than the length of the video.

Thank you very much for getting back to us.

I think ServerListenerStreamPublisher would be OK. Can you give me any usage example to publish over (duplicate) the live streamname? (I can allow duplicate stream name for this application)

Loop a pre-roll until a live stream starts

this might help too: Schedule streaming

I’m trying to use StreamPublisher to do this. I have this configuration in application.xml:

streamPublisher

Schedules streams and playlists.

com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.module.ModuleStreamPublisher

Root/Application

streamPublisherSmilFile

String

rts1.smil

Root/Application

streamPublisherSwitchLog

Boolean

true

For the smil file part, I’m thinking about two possibilities:

  1. Use a video file with the StreamPublisher to schedule a streamname duplicate (by allowing this fror this application) from 16:00:00 to 17:00:00 and stop it after that time.

To have this option work, what should I change in this config:

  1. Use two Live sources, The TV signal and a Video in loop published by ffmpeg, and schedule Video in Loop to play from 16:00:00 to 17:00:00 and Live Source for the rest of time.

To have this work, what should I change in this config?:

Please any help would be really appreciated?
