wowza 3 - http and rtmp streaming

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

I just upgraded from wowza2 to wowza3. rtmp streaming works fine, logs are displaying correctly in sawmill. But I am now trying to stream a single file both using rtmp and http. Like I said, rtmp streaming works fine for mp4 files. But can someone tell me how to enable http streaming? In linux server where wowza3.0.3 is installed, we have disabled apache. So, wowza can use port 80 as well. Link to the file using rtmp protocol is:

rtmp://mydomain.com/applicationname/testb.mp4

Thanks,

Ashish

In your Application.xml, set the HTTPStreamers property to:

<HTTPStreamers>cupertinostreaming,smoothstreaming,sanjosestreaming</HTTPStreamers>

This tutorial also gives sample playback urls, https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming

Use RTMP in JW Player. Change the streamer to:

rtmp://wowza_address:1935/bsa

JW Player does have support for that, but not using streamer. Take a look at the JW Player documentation for this

Ashish,

Take a look at JW player site, they show how to use their player.

Do I have to enable apache? The HTTPStreamers is there on Application.xml file:

cupertinostreaming,smoothstreaming,sanjosestreaming

Thanks.

I always get “No valid media file(s) found.”

the same file plays fine in an iPad using:

http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8

I want to play the file in a flash player using http protocol.

I tried the jw player setup wizard to test it too.

This text will be replaced

bsa is the application name and testb.mp4 is the file. When I click play, it keeps on spinning.

Hi Richard,

We are trying to use http protocol. Is it possible? I was able to play the file in iPad using the similar code:

http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/definst/mp4:myvideos/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8

but I am trying to use the following similar code:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/vod/definst/mp4:myvideos/sample.mp4/manifest.f4m

I am trying to follow: Adobe Flash player (San Jose/Flash HTTP) in https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming#playback

Hi Richard,

I just sent an email to support@wowza.com regarding this issue. I have sent a link to a player in that email.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a strange problem with http streaming I always get the error below;

the same path works well with RTSP and RTMP protocols. I have tried every alternative but not successful. Somehow It always add 127.0.0.1 to the file path.

these are the rtsp and rtmp urls.

rtsp://192.168.5.23/vod/mp4:/5005/4367C6A4-5740-44A7-A849-62168E6E5BB3.M4v?audioindex=1
