live streaming?

[Ricardo.Geek]

Hello all,

I have a java applet that does screensharing via Wowza Media Server.

I'm new to this world so I just copied the example applications, and modified these with the tutorials in the Wowza Tutorials section.

The problem is, when I run the application on Wowza Media Server 2 Developer 2.2.4, it works in a way just fine, but the problem comes when I try it on the Wowza Media Server 3 Developer Edition 3.0.5 build1220, as the player wont start the stream until the applet has stoped sharing the desktop, and it records the whole thing in the content folder, I dont want this, I want the video to play as it comes from the applet not at the end, I tough thats why it was called "live streamming", am I in a lack of concept here?

thank you for your comments and explanations.

If your live stream is being recorded in the content folder, then your /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /StreamType is "live-record" (or other *record StreamType). Change the StreamType to "live", then the stream will not record.

What encoder are you using? If it an RTMP push encoder, where you enter an RTMP url to Wowza and a stream name, follow this guide:
http://www.wowza.com/forums/content....based-encoder)

Not sure what you mean, "... until the applet has stopped sharing the desktop".

Just to be clear, it sounds like you have the stream type set incorrectly in conf/[application]/Application.xml. It should be set to live.

Hello friends, Thanks for your replies, currently the application StreamType is set to "live-lowlatency" and in the past it was just "live", I really find this confusing.
I will paste the app here, its not that big, so maybe you guys can give me a clue.
