GeoIP Locking Module

[rrlanham]

I don't know much about this 3rd party addon, but from what you report it is installed and working. I'm not sure what you want it to do and if it is working as you expect, but it is doing something.

Finally got plugin working and blocking access to stream. One thing only left there is option to rewrite stream with video clip, but something is wrong and flowplayer is showing error " 200....stream not found". Why wowza is not rewriting stream or problem is in different part?


application.xml

<!--
				GeolocationPlaybackFile

				The parameter should provide a clip or stream which tells the user
				via video, why he can't access some of the sites content.

				Only used if GeolocationPlaybackShutdown is set to false.

You are trying to fallback to a file in a live application, which won't work. The GeolocationPlaybackFile should be a live stream.

You could play labaca.flv as a live stream in a loop using the Stream class. Take a look at these examples:

Hi Guys,
My Wowza version: Wowza Media Server 2 Perpetual 2.2.4.01 build27503
I wanted to use Geoip Module to allow access to limited countries i did this
1- Copy geoip to lib
2- Create new folders called go in both conf& Application folders
3- Configure Application.XML for live stream
4- Copy GeoIP.dat to C:\
5- Ceate locationinfo.xml
6 - Added the follwoing properties to Application.xml
Problem: Streaming Playbalk working only for DE while i make exception for 5 countries, it seems the module doesn't read the locationinfo.xml file
What I am missing here?

Hi,

since i have a large number of files that i have to block and i don't want wowza to parse a large xml, i was wondering is there an option to have a single xml file for each video located in same dir as video?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi jonny,

You'll probably have to modify the code to add that feature. Note that user "titpetric" made a fork available in the second post in this thread. I see it was updated just 7 months ago.

[jonny-b]

Hi again!

Now that i have got over initial problems with module, i have spent some time to analyse it, and came up with a problem.

So the question is can i get stream name for vod onAppStart?

If yes, due to my juniority in wowza, i wouldn't mind some guiding .

Tanks again for your help.

Best regards.
jonny

[rrlanham]

No, it's much too soon. The soonest you can get stream name server-side is by overriding play

Or in IMediaStreamActionNotify3 onPlay
