Cannot Limit Wowza to only stream from my S3 bucket

[Teafie]

Hello, I would like to limit Wowza to only stream from my S3 bucket, called
'amazingg'

I only edited the aliasmap.play.txt, as suggested. Here it is:

amazingg/*=amazons3/amazingg/${Wildcard.Match1}
flv:amazingg/*=flv:amazons3/amazingg/${Wildcard.Match1}
mp3:amazingg/*=mp3:amazons3/amazingg/${Wildcard.Match1}
mp4:amazingg/*=mp4:amazons3/amazingg/${Wildcard.Match1}
# commented out *=${Stream.Name}


This is what I set to in my flash player (XXXX refers the start of my ec2
IP):

'rtmp://XXXX.compute.amazonaws.com/vods3'
'mp4:amazingg/test.mp4'


This does not work! Why?!!

However, setting it to:

'rtmp://XXXX.compute.amazonaws.com/vods3'
'mp4:amazons3/amazingg/test.mp4'


ONLY the above does work. But this is not achieving what I want, which is
blocking people from using my Wowza to stream from other buckets.

I am doing everything as stated in the ec2 guide. Please help!

Thanks in advance.

The rules look right.

Make sure you are editing the right file. What is the value of /conf/vods3/Application.xml streamNameAliasFile Property ? It might be /conf/StreamNameAliasMap.txt

There is no streamNameAliasFile property, but there are some similar-looking ones. Copy pasting:

<Property>
<Name>aliasMapFileStream</Name>
<Value>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/aliasmap.stream.txt</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>aliasMapFilePlay</Name>
<Value>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/aliasmap.play.txt</Value>
</Property>



I haven't changed this Application.xml file from the default one given in default_3.0.zip

[Teafie]

So, does anyone have an idea about this one? I am following the documentation word for word and cannot get this feature to work. The doc also mentioned nothing about using vods3/Application.xml

[rrlanham]

Are you using the vods3 application? The alias "amazons3" indicates that you are.

Yes, using vods3, since I am using:

'rtmp://XXXX.compute.amazonaws.com/vods3'
'mp4:amazingg/test.mp4'



Can you send me a startup zip file that will work for the purposes I listed?

Thanks.
