Hi,

I tried to install the Wowza IDE, but if a try to access the link given in the guide ([https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/content.xml](https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/content.xml)) it gives an empty file.

Hello,

You will need to download and install Eclipse if not already: [https://eclipse.org/downloads/](https://eclipse.org/downloads/)

On the Help tab, click Install New Software.

In the Available Software dialog, click Add.

In the Add Repository dialog, enter the following information and then click OK.

Name - Enter Wowza.

Location - Enter [https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/](https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/)

Note: To download the Wowza IDE package, you must enter the URL in the Eclipse interface as the repository’s location. If you enter the location URL in a web browser, an HTTP 403 error is returned.

In the Available Software dialog, check the box next to Wowza IDE 4 and then click Next.

In the Review Licenses dialog, select I accept and then click Finish.

Follow the remaining prompts to install the software and restart Eclipse.

Here’s the latest guide as well for How to extend Wowza Streaming Engine using the Wowza IDE:

Hello,

Thank you for the screenshots and the update that Eclipse Neon worked. It might be that the package needs later versions of Eclipse to work.

I have it working on Mars 2 Release (4.5.2).

followed this to T and get this error : Unable to read repository at [https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/content.xml](https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/content.xml).

Unable to read repository at [https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/content.xml](https://www.wowza.com/wowzaide4/content.xml).

Received fatal alert: handshake\_failure

I think the first post talks about the same.
