Wowza Stream not Live, why?

i am sending live rtmp stream to wowza server with a live application config but everytime i connect to the stream for watching the live stream, its start from the beginning of the stream. I can see wowza is creating bigger and bigger file in /content directory and this file will everytime be played from the beginning.

How can i say wowza to send it live, like send the last 10 seconds of the file?

Best regards,

Chris

Solution

  • Follow these instructions to create a live stream and broadcasting it

    Go to the Wowza Media Server Directory. Probably it is /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer

    cd applications;mkdir live

    Here live is your application name

    cd ../conf;mkdir live;cp Application.xml live/

    Now edit the Application.xml file

    cd live;vim Application.xml

    Change the stream type default to live

    live

    set HTTPStreamers

    cupertinostreaming,smoothstreaming,sanjosestreaming

    set LiveStreamPacketizers to

    cupertinostreamingpacketizer, smoothstreamingpacketizer, sanjosestreamingpacketizer

    set Playmethod

    none

    Now go to your browser and open the player

    file:///usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html

    Server : rtmp://;1935/live Stream :

    Note * : For live streaming you have to use an encoder ( Adobe Flash media Live Encoder , etc )
