Obviously not much we can do about that. Charlie ---

It looks like you are using the wrong http url on the iPhone side. The url should be: http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/w.sdp/playlist.m3u8 Charlie ---

I have never tried it but you might be able to do RTSP over SSL and use RTSP/RTP interleaved to send the RTP packets over the SSL connection. You would need to configure a port on Wowza for SSL. The RTMPSConnectionModule walks you through the steps (this will be easier to do with Wowza 2). Then you might be able to then configure Wirecast to use SSL. I would consult their docs to see if this is possible. Sorry we don’t immediately have the answer. Charlie ---

Hello everyone, I have set up my systems as described and I am not getting any video on audio from the stream. I am using an osprey-210 capture card with Wirecast, everything is set correctly a connection is initiated to the server but when I am trying to view the stream using the On2 Live client, from the the “examples” folder it connects, it pull bandwidth from the server but I can’t see / hear anything. Anyone have any idea of what’s causing this? I have the latest flash plugin installed on both IE and Firefox. Thank you ---

I assume you can play the direct output of Wirecast in quicktime player, but whatever comes from Wowza can only be played by Flash, and h.264 requires version 9.015. It’s pretty easy to get your users to upgrade. I use the Flex framework that has version detection and an installer. I think CS3 has something like that too. And there is [SWFObject](http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/). ---

I think RTMP to Wowza from Wirecast is covered, it’s the basic feature of the combo. Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. Richard ---

I think these are limitations of Flash player mostly, not bugs. Richard ---

If a video plays, but not well, I would look at bandwidth as the probable problem. Sounds like some of the options you are trying are too high bandwidth. Richard ---

To resolve the MediaCasterStreamManager error, copy the jar file from that package/lib folder to wowza/lib, then restart Wowza. In the encoding setting, try setting key frame to 30 (fps \* 2) Try pushing the quality setting down further, see how low you can go and still get good/acceptable quality video in the phone.

Take a look at the LiveVideoStreaming example player, which uses another technique to size the Video object that is more dependable and accurate then metadata. It starts with this line in ncOnStatus when NetConnect.Connect.Success notification is received: > videoSizeTimer = setInterval(updateVideoSize, 500); Richard ---

Ok thanks! Does the EC2 WOWZA stream Quicktime from Vera Software’s Wirecast in any format? I like the features and could put it to work soon. 🙂 Thanks! ---

I’m eager to use the Wirecast app to do a live webcast while switching from live video to slides to recorded video and such. The Wirecast is very slick in the transitions and if I can get it to stream through WOWZA on the EC2 I have my solution. Wirecast only streams in Quicktime and Windows Media, so I am excited about the new WOWZA with H.264 capabilities, but I am on the WOWZA EC2 and I guess I will have to wait(?) I’m open to checking out other webcast apps, but do want to stay on WOWZA and EC2. Thanks for your input and/or suggestions. Rob ---

I have successfully deployed the 1.5 preview 2 and have my stream live from wirecast (h.264) to wowza and can receive the video but not the audio. Any ideas on what to check would be appreciated. my stream is: rtmp://fast.shangby.com/live name: wow.sdp Video plays fine - audio is absent… I have double checked all in wirecast and know that it is sending video and audio as I can get the audio on a separate quicktime version of the same stream with the same encoder preset. Thanks Steve ---

Hello. It continues to Mr.Masateru.

(The Broadcast packet of WireCast3.5 was normal.) There seems to be a problem in the frame processing of WowzaPro1.7. It is unquestionable for 480i.(Case1 or Case2.) There is a problem at 1080HDV or 720P(HDV). (Case3 or Case4.) As for FMS, it was a same deal. 6.SD Cam(480i)30fps–\>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640\*480(RTMP)H.264 --\>FMS3.5Live–\>Flash10 Good! 30fps Good! 7.HD Cam(720P)30fps–\>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640\*360(RTMP)H.264 --\>FMS3.5Live–\>Flash10 Not good!

The problem part turned out. It is possible to reproduce it in the following environments. 1.OS:WindowsXP SP2 2.CPU:Core2Quad 2.8G. 3.Memory4GB. 4.WireCast 3.5.2 \*Flash type ; rtmp://ServerName:1935. StreamName:myStream. 5.HD-SDI input 720P. - BlackMagic DeckLink HD Extreme input (SDI-Video&SDI-Audio) is selected. 6.Server WowzaPro1.7path-7 or FMS3.5. 7.FlashPlayer10. \*Live Sample. \*Please select blank(silent) audio with WireCast3.5.2. \*At that time, the FlashVideoMovie becomes slow motion. \*When DeckLink Audio is selected, it recovers. \*It was necessary to select only Video by the H.264 encode when in the HD signal, there was no SDI-Audio. \*In the encode of QuickTime (QuickTimeServer), there is no problem. The processing of blank(silent) audio might be bad with WireCast. Or,Is the processing of silent audio of the server bad? Whether the WowzaPro(or FMS) or WireCast is a cause is not understood. It reported on the same content to the WireCast support. ---

In addition, it examined it in detail. As for animation, SD was delayed(Slow movement). It is not worse than HD. Animation is delayed(Slow movement) only a little. When the input of Audio becomes silent when Video&Audio has been selected, it is useless. Will it be a characteristic of FlashPlayer? ---

Hi, A silent Audio problem of WireCast3 was solved. 🙂 It doesn’t happen if it is a player of ActionScript3.0. I was surprised because the version influenced it in such a place. Tom Isono. ---

Hi, I cannot transmit using Wirecast / Quicktime using mac, but I can transmit fine using adobe flash encoder with windows. Telnet to wowza server port 1935 from mac is responding fine, So, the problem is not the firewall ports in mac. Nothing in logs when I try connect from mac, only when I connect using adobe flash encoder. Anyone can help-me? thanks, Andre.
