URGENT : Load Balancing 4.0 : ERROR using redirect path...

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello everyone,

I have a Wowza server well running, with a live stream (origin), but limited to 100 viewers.

So now I decided to have another server to have more viewers.

I successfully added a new Wowza server with edge mode and can play my stream using one of the following URLs :

  • rtmp://tv.mondeduloisir.fr/tixtv/web (ORIGIN, IP = 94.23.194.145, Wowza version = 4.1.1)

  • rtmp://edge001.tv.mondeduloisir.fr/tixtv/web (EDGE, IP = 37.187.149.82, Wowza version = 4.1.2)

It’s the same stream and the same timecode as expected ! :slight_smile:

But I needed a Load Balancing option to choose the best server from only one URL.

So I followed that URL : https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-dynamic-load-balancing-addon for 4.0 version.

To test it, I’m using that URL : rtmp://tv.mondeduloisir.fr/redirect/tixtv/web (note “redirect” term).

But I have that error in the access logs :

And that error in error logs :

Why ???

For your information, the MASTER storageDir is : D:/Wowza_Content (I’m using Windows Server 2012).

Why I have “java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\Wowza\content\web” (not the same folder…) ???

What I missed ? It’s really urgent of course… :slight_smile:

Best regards.

Hi,

Did you correctly create the “redirect” application on your origin server? This is described in the WowzaDynamicLoadBalancingAddOn_UsersGuide.pdf document on page 13 in the “RTMP redirection” section.

Hi,

Can you open a support ticket by sending an email to support@wowza.com with a detailed description of the problem and also a reference to this forum post.

Also, make sure to attach an archive containing the contents of your Wowza conf/ and logs/ folders so we could take a closer look at your setup.

Hello,

Thanks for reply.

Yes I did it, but missing Application.xml in conf folder. Added it but something else happen in access logs :

Hello,

Thanks for reply.

Finally, the last logs I wrote were not errors, the stream was not played because of my player which do not take into account RTMP redirection… SO IT’S WORKING ! I did some tests with JWPlayer demo website and it’s good.

Topic solved !

Best regards.

Hi @Michel_CAPEL;

I’m having the same issue;

Can you please test my redirect rtmp if it’s working?

rtmp://139.59.243.200:1935/redirect/live/test2

I’ve been spending weeks to confirgure the redirct rtmp, but no luck with VLC player. I’m not a developer, so i can run the JW palyer. Can you please provide me the link if you can’t test my stream?

Thanks.
