EdgeCast RTMP Repeater

[dptekco]

Hello Richard,

The original poster is correct and the provided solution will not work. In this particular case this is exactly what is happening:

Assuming edgecast live stream is:

rtmp://domain/accountid/path1/path2/mystream

specifically, this actually means:

fms server: rtmp://domain/accountid/path1/path2
stream name: mystream

However using the *.stream file or the stream name alias system, Wowza will send the stream to edgecast incorrectly as follows:

fms server: rtmp://domain/accountid/path1
stream name: path2/mystream

So the question really is, how can we have greater control over how Wowza parses a complete rtmp url so that is sends the correct server and stream name values?

note that we have confirmed this by examining logs on both sides. _definst_ was added at each position to no avail, and edgecast urls limited to rtmp://domain/accountid/path1/streamname will work. The issue is when more than one path segment is included in the live url.

Thanks!
