They use the system in the MediaSecurity package which does it using a flat username/password file.

Hi,
I’m trying to get it to stream to the EC2 WOWZA instance and it is not behaving. Will it work with the EC2 app??
Thanks!
Rob
I have follow all the steps in your forum
(https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-telestream-wirecast-live-encoder-with-wowza-streaming-engine) because we
want to broadcast our show in flash format through Wirecast 3 but I
didn’t work to me…
I complete step number 9 (To play the stream, double click the
LiveVideoStreaming) using “On2 Flix Live” and I could see the image,
but when I play it using Wirecast doesn’t work. We need to use
Wirecast because we are doing some production during our show, and we
need to send the signal to our Streaming Server (instead of localhost).
Any help would be so much appreciated and very important for us.
How do I disable the username/password? I do not want authentication from wowza… I tried modifying Application.xml (setting
none) and all other similar hacks but no success… Is there a way to disable the authentication in examples
:eek:
Hi we have Wirecast working feeding wowza and can get the video from wowza. Our main issue is the 7+ seconds delay - between live and what shows in the browser. We are testing this on the local lan between two pcs. Is it possible to get less than 1 sec delay? If so how can we achieve this. The wirecast preview and live mode have no discernable delay - so we don’t believe it is the wirecast side. Wowza is running on a quadcore intel - with plenty of ram. Please HELP!
Hi Charlie,
please can you check this out,…
I have installed WOWZA the latest version on my server Linux OS.
If I use QT Broadcaster, Wowza works perfect,… but if I use Wirecast on the same computer exactly same streaming settings it just does not work. The player does not play the sream. But I quit wirecast open QT-B hit broadcast whala good image perfect streaming.
I know you are not support center for wirecast, but after following this forum, I have tried the changing the Live to live-lowlatency, add the
sortPackets
true
Boolean
sortBufferSize
250
Integer
nothing happens,… still the same,… QT,… NP,… Wirecast doesn’t broadcast.

Hi folks,
I’m attempting to get HTTP streaming working.
When I try to open the stream from an iPhone, I get the
following error on the phone:
Cannot Play Movie
The file can not be found
I “believe” I followed the steps.
In ./conf/live/Application.xml the streamtype is set to live,
the property options listed are added,
and I updated LiveStreamPacketizers:
cupertinostreamingpacketizer
I’ve set credentials in ./conf/rtp.password
Procedure:
I start WMS
then Wirecast
Then try to hit it with the iPhone
I get the following in the server output when I try to connect
to “http://xxx.xxx.9.213:1935/live/w/playlist.m3u8”:
“”"
WARN server comment - HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreaming.getAppInstance:
Stream not found [live/w/playlist.m3u8]: w
“”"
I am using Wirecast 3.5.4, and have it set to:
Destination: Announce to Quicktime Streaming Server
Hostname: xxx.xxx.9.213:1935
File location: live/w.sdp
username: ****** Password: *****
I’ve created a new encoder preset, ‘wowza’.
Output Format: Quicktime

Okay folks… what am I missing?
Thanks much,
Kurt
You need to be running Wowza Pro 1.5.0 preview2 which has not been publicly released yet. If you want to be notified of the release signup on this page:
https://www.wowza.com/h264notify.php
Charlie
Please explain what you are interested in doing in detail. I am really don’t follow what you want to stream to where.
Charlie
I don’t understand what you are trying to do. Can explain in more detail?
Charlie
I am not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do. At this time Wowza Pro can only stream out to the Flash player. Can you describe in more detail what you are trying to achieve.
Charlie
That is exactly what these instructions do. You are sending an H.264 stream from WireCast to Wowza Pro (the streaming server). Then you can use the Flash player to play the stream (the LiveStreamingVideo example player).
You will need to install Wowza Pro on your service provider server. It will replace the Windows Media Server that you are currently using.
Make sense?
Charlie
We are considering this feature for a future release but we do not have a timeframe as of yet.
Charlie
Did you try following the instructions in this post:
https://www.wowza.com/forums/showpost.php?p=14392&postcount=36
Let me know if it helps. What is the cpu load on the machine doing the encoding?
Charlie
It sounds like Wirecast/encoding machine is working had to keep up. I would do a quick test and reduce the bitrate and frame size of the encoding to see if that reduces the latency. Also try setting Streams/StreamType in conf/[application]/Application.xml to “live-lowlatency” to see if that helps. Also, with H.264 Flash seems to always delay the stream by at least 2-4 seconds. So you will most likely never do better than a few seconds of latency.
Chalrie
I am not sure I understand the issue. I believe something got lost in the translation. Can you provide a more detailed example of the problem.
Charlie
This to me sounds more like an encoder issue. What is the cpu and memory load on the encoder machine for each of these cases:
1.SD Cam(480i)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*480(RTMP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Good! 30fps.
2.SD Cam(480i)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*480(RTP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Good! 30fps.
3.HD Cam(720P)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*360(RTMP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Not good! Movie is Slow motion.
4.HD Cam(720P)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*360(RTP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Not good!! 1fps #.
Wowza Pro does not really touch the video/audio packets. We simply relay them to the player. So we are not directly affected by the frame size. These types of issues are more likely on the encoder or Flash player side of things.
Charlie
What needs to be updated on the first post?
Charlie
I have updated the instructions to cover both methods of streaming. I have also augmented the RTSP/RTP instructions to insert a sortBuffer which should address the sync issue when using RTSP/RTP method of streaming.
Charlie
I am not sure I really understand the question.
Charlie
