Hi,

My name is Martin and I’m working on an module for Wowza.

The Wowza server will be deployed on AWS. I want to be able to record and play vod from S3.

I read some guides (using s3fs and ModuleMediaWriterFileMover to record and vods3 with MediaCache AddOn to play), but they all refer to the Wowza Media Server AMIs. I read there’s no AMI for Wowza Streaming Engine.

The question is, is it possible/easy to configure an instance of Streaming Engine on AWS with vods3, s3fs, etc?

If it’s easier to use Wowza Media Server, where can I download a local version to develop on my computer? I can only find the link to download the last version (Streaming Engine).

Thank you very much

You can Install Wowza on your EC2 server, configured MediaCache, and install s3fs yourself.

Or you can use the current Wowza 3 AMIs for the moment, and/or wait for the Wowza Streaming Engine AMIs, which should be available within a couple of weeks.
