How to integrate wowza with a php website?

[liumy85]

ok, thanks!

From what i've learned from tutorials, seems wowza also can't create thumbnails when uploading videos to wowza server, there seems to be only capabilities to create thumbnails when calling the stream.

is that true?

Thanks

Wowza is not aware of new files when you FTP a file to Wowza content folder. So, no, thumbnails are not created. You can do it after the file is uploaded with this

I don't use ftp to upload files, instead we use php to move files to wowza, in that case, is there any automatic method or settings to create thumbnails?

Thanks

No, Wowza is also unaware of files being uploaded by php script

Hi,

Can you please tell me if Wowza does not have any file transcoding capabilities, then what is the purpose of the Wowza Transcoder AddOn?

Mukesh,

It is used to transcode and transrate live streams. Take a look at this guide to vod encoding:

Hi Richard,

Thanks for you prompt reply.

According to the user guide:

"Ingests a non-H.264 video and non-AAC/MP3 audio media stream and converts it to a set of H.263 or H.264 AAC adaptive bitrate media streams
"

Does this mean wowza can convert any type of video Codec such as VP8/Theora and any type of Audio codec such as MP3/Vorbis?

Mukesh

Hi,
You can find the listed codecs that will be transcoded by Wowza below under the Decoding section,
