Stream class example with playlist problem

[JosephL]

I am having trouble getting the Playlist example working. I believe I have all the proper files configured and in the right places and even set my flash security permissions set to accept the: live .swf , LiveVideoStreaming folder and LiveVideoStreaming/client folders all locally for testing, however I keep getting the error - Failed to play Stream1; stream not found. when I finally attempt to play /examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html
locally using rtmp://[wowza-address]/live and Stream1

Listed below are my directory paths , could any one possibly offer some tips to make this work?


/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.3/lib/
wms-plugin-collection.jar


/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.3/conf/
Server.xml is Modified to include -
<ServerListener>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.serverl istener.ServerListenerStreamPublisher</BaseClass>
</ServerListener>


/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.3/conf/live
Application.xml is modified to include -
<StreamType>live</StreamType>


/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.3/content/
streamschedule.smil


But when I try to play the test locally using this page -
/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html
rtmp://[wowza-address]/live
Stream1

The Error I get is - Failed to play Stream1; stream not found.

All I can suggest is posting the Wowza log file from when you start Wowza this should indicate why the publisher is not starting/errors elsewhere.

Did you restart Wowza? The ServerListener runs when Wowza starts. Start in stand-alone (/bin/startup.bat) mode so you can see log output, you should see logging from the schedule server listener.

I am running Wowza on a Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server
I dont seem to have a /bin/startup.bat
I start the server using putty with /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/bin
./startup.sh

The console then shows:

/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/bin# ./startup.sh

Then after I load locally LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html
and enter my server IP rtmp://xx.xx.xx.xx/live
with Name "Stream1"
I get "Failed to play Stream1 ; stream not found."
I have my Flash Global Security permissions set to always ask permission for folder LiveVideoStreaming and file live.swf etc.
The Wowza Server console then lists the following after I attempt to connect

INFO application app-start _definst_ live/_definst_
INFO session connect-pending xx.xx.xx.xx -
INFO session connect xx.xx.xx.xx -
INFO stream create - -

Then after I hit the stop button on the Live.html page it lists:

INFO stream destroy Stream1 -
INFO session disconnect 34298835 -

Show the Server.xml, or take another look at that, because the ServerListener is not starting. Make sure the collection jar is really in the lib folder too.

Test by stopping and starting again as you have with /bin/startup.sh and shutdown.sh. The StreamPublisher outputs log lines that you will see if it is working. The above lines show that it isn't.

I checked and I do have wms-plugin-collection.jar
located in /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.3/lib/
Perhaps I also need to set permissions for it?

Below is my Server.xml from /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.3/conf/
The only thing I added to it was the extra <ServerListener>

[rrlanham]

The ServerListenerStreamPublisher is commented out. Change this:

<!--
<ServerListener>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.serverl istener.ServerListenerStreamPublisher</BaseClass>
</ServerListener>
-->

To this:

<ServerListener>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.serverl istener.ServerListenerStreamPublisher</BaseClass>
</ServerListener>

Thanks for the help but unfortunately I still couldn't get it to work.
I retarted the server but still get Stream1 not found.
I commented out the server listener though.
I think I have all the correct directory paths so I am not sure.
My flash security permissions are also set locally to allow live.swf and the LiveVideoStreaming folder.

Just to be sure I even added to server.xml -
<Property>
<Name>PublishToApplication</Name>
<Value>Live</Value>
</Property>

Uncommenting the ServerListenter was critical. Do you have this working yet? Otherwise, zip up conf *and* logs folders and send them to support@wowzamedia.com.

Also send the collection jar and schedule.smil

Include a link to this thread.

I have the exact same problem. Was the issue ever figured out? What was the fix?
