What is the contents of /content/akamai.stream?

It looks like there is a square bracket, which doesn't belong.

And can you play the origin stream directly?:

Server: rtmp://[fms-address]/live
Stream: myStream@2440

And what is the values of Wowza Server/edge Application.xml /orginURL

Make sure the originURL is empty in this case.

Content of /content/akamai.stream

* rtmp://173.193.6.194/live/myStream@2440

There is no bracket
yes, i can play it on VLC or flash player

Where do i find " Wowza Server/edge Application.xml /orginURL"

I dont have such a folder call edge.

Thank you

[rrlanham]

The "[" "]" brackets indicate place holders.

You can make a folder called edge in /application and /conf folder if you want the app to be named edge, but akamai is fine.

The "@2440" in the stream name seems to be the problem. I tested without it and it works fine. This is how to do this:

1. Test the orgin stream. You can use SimpleVideoStreaming example player:
   
   Server: rtmp://173.193.6.194/live
   Stream: myStream
   
   At this time, I see a cricket game. So all is good so far.
   
   
2. Make an edge application on the Wowza server. Let's call it "edge". Create these two folders:
   
   /application/edge
   /conf/edge
   
3. Copy /conf/Application.xml to /conf/edge/Application
   
   
4. Open the new file /conf/edge/Application.xml in a text editor and make one change only, make StreamType "liverepeater-edge
   
   <StreamType>liverepeater-edge</StreamType>
   This is all you are need to do to the Application.xml
   
   
5. Create a new text file with a .stream extension in the /content folder, call it myStream.stream
   /content/myStream.stream
   
   
6. Open /content/myStream.stream in a text editor and add the full origin rtmp url + stream name:
   rtmp://173.193.6.194/live/myStream
   
   
7. Now test this with SimpleVideoStreaming:

Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]:/edge
Stream: myStream.stream

That's all. I am watching it now from an edge that I created here. "Cricket Plus"
