From the ticket:

Wowza does not support http ingress except shoutcast streams.

You can have many live streams in Wowza at once with simple configuration, but there are many possible approaches to how you would provide an interface for users to switch.

This example could be useful:

I have searched forum and modified ModuleVideoNameList to get published live streams names using ApplicationInstance.getPublishStreamNames(). But I don’t know how to put List into AMFDataMixedArray.

From John:

Hi Vasya,

Thanks for your interest in our Wowza Server 2 software.

From the sales side, I wanted find out if you’re planning to build an IPTV system which streams to traditional IPTV set top boxes or if you’re focused on streaming to a different type of client?

Based on your deployment targets, we may have detailed technical articles or specific product partners to point you to.

Yours,

John West
