Two things!

1. The stream scheduling API does not work and continues to not turn off creating higher billing costs. If you are told to turn off at a certain time no matter what I expect you to STOP THE STREAM! That’s what stop at a specific time means!

2. I’ve been billed for usage going to YouTube which during a live stream shows as connected! Yet there hasn’t been a single live stream sent to YouTube for over 2 months! Why is Wowza trying to ripoff consumers and directly lying to them on the dashboard? How is it connected if YouTube isn’t receiving anything?

I see that technical support is reviewing this with you further which is what I was going to suggest- that you submit a ticket so we can review the logs and investigate what happened.
