Streaming mutliple feeds with same wowza application

[tsreeram]

Hi,

Can anyone know the impacts of streaming multiple feeds through same wowza application.

I created rtplive application in wowza server and able to live stream IP cam feed.
[ref: http://www.wowzamedia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6470]

I have multiple IP cameras so i tried to stream them with same rtplive apps and passing different stream names (ex:camera.stream,cam2.stream,cam3.stream....) and able to do it.

If i use single wowza apps to deliver multiple streams, is it causes any performance effect, load burden or any other adverse effects on the server ?

Should i must create different apps(rtplive,rtplive2,rtplive3...) under wowza to broadcast different IP cam feeds for better performance?

Another one instead of placing IP cam url (rtsp://axiscam...) in separate stream file can we pass it directly through embed code?
Ex:
<object...>
<param name="flashvars" value="streamer=rtmp://192.168.1.123/rtplive&file=rtsp://192.168.1.100/axis-media/media.amp" />
<embed...
flashvars="streamer=rtmp://wowza-ip/mycamlive&file=rtsp://192.168.1.100/axis-media/media.amp'/ >
</object>


Thanks in advance.

Regards,

You can have many streams published to a Wowza server. I don't think there is any benefit of sending each to a different application, whatever limitation you might hit will probably be the same.
