Re-stream RPT to HTTP Live streaming

[rrlanham]

On the edge, only use cupertinostreamingrepeater. Remove the others.

Completely take out the auto-generate configuration since you don't need it. Use the smil item pointing to the 64kbs audio stream, as you were doing but without the wowza-audio-only="true"

I've took out auto-generate config strings, deleted

cupertinostreamingpacketizer, smoothstreamingpacketizer

and put cupertinostreamingrepeater. http://pastebin.ca/1982462
Well, now playlist.m3u8 does not generates and when I'm trying to access it from iPhone, it says that file not found. I've checked stream in Flash (rtmp) and it was fine, even rtsp stream worked fine, but playlist was not available.

The StreamType should be "liverepeater-edge"

I've set liverepeater-edge, but child playlists don't work any way. I mean that smil playlist.m3u8 is generating successfully and child playlists don't work. What may be the reason?
Here's my Application.xml: http://pastebin.ca/1985009

Richard, I think I'm making wrong settings. I've read this guide and understood, that it needs two Wowza servers - origin and edge. I have only one Wowza server and one - VLC streaming server.
I have painted my structure of streaming for you to understand. Please, take a look and give me an advice, how my application should be set.

Thank you very much for help, I really don't know any other source of help in this deal.

For Wowza's role in your process, this is the essential guide:

Allright, Apple Store finally approved my application.
In the end, I'm using two streams: audio, which I'm streaming through smil and video.

Thank you Richard for help, I really appreciate it.

Now I have some errors on my server, which make my WMS stop.
This morning I found that video is not streaming. I've logged to server and found that WMS service stopped.

Here's the last messages:
ERROR server comment - LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.handleHolder: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException

This error is always in the log (even now), when WMS started and working. How should I handle with that?

Thanks.

Upgrade to Wowza 2.2.0 and it should fix these errors.

I've applied patch, but the application stops anyway.
Every day it stops after a lot of repeating messages like that:

Then it writes "Killed" and the application stops.

Here's the contents of stream.smil:

<smil>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<switch>
<video src="mpegts.stream" system-bitrate="64000"/>
<param name="audioOnly" value="TRUE" valuetype="data"/>
</switch>
</body>
</smil>

I've turned off SMIL, but application kills anyway. What's the problem? I can't get.
