Multiple Origin Configuration

[alle1974]

Dear All,

i've 4 server as edge and 2 server as origin. My clients stream to origin1 and have a backup set in origin2 (FMLE).
The 4 server are configure as load balancer sender to send the info to the origin1 and origin2.
At runtime the only server origin active is the origin1 and the origin2 is used if there's a fault (The FMLE switch automatically to the origin2)
If i setup each edge server to point with the "pipe" to the origin1 and origin2, when there's no stream active in the origin2, the edge server
skip the origin2 and go to the active stream published in the origin1 ? or i must have the origin1 and origin2 with active stream ?

Thanks

Alessandro

The fail-over to the backup origin should work as you describe and will wait for 12 seconds before trying find the same stream on the next Origin.

It works left to right. The edge will try to connect to the first origin, presumably origin1, then origin2.

Also note that you can use the Application.xml /originURL to set this up or .stream files. With .stream files you use the whole origin stream, for example:

rtmp://[wowza-origin1-address]:1935/live/myStream|rtmp://[wowza-origin2-address]:1935/live/myStream
