Wowza Player License ID
Hi everyone!
I'm in doubt of what can be a simple question about license...
I want to use de wowza player code with a m3u8 stream, but the server is not a wowza server, so I don't have a license. In this scenario, what should I do with the license in the code? Is ok to use only the player anyway?
Embed the Wowza Player (place after the HTML code from #2)
<script type="text/javascript">
WowzaPlayer.create('playerElement',
{
"license":"PLAY1-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx",
"title":"",
"description":"",
"sourceURL":"https://url/name.stream/playlist.m3u8",
...
Thanks
Hello @Denilson Rocha,
Wowza Player is available only as part of Wowza Streaming Engine/Cloud. If you do not own those products, then you would not be able to use Wowza Player at this time.

Just asked a closely similar question. We currently have wowza streaming engine running in AWS and we are trying to use a different player as flash is being dropped by different browsers. I was able to find the license key under [WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Server.license. But when I use the key in the wowza player I get Illegal license key format.
@Alex C Is the license under WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Server.licencse the correct one to use as license value in Wowza Player? If true could be the reason of getting Illegal license key format
Hi @Leandre Mucyo,
You can launch Wowza Player from with Wowza Engine Manager UI as shown here:
You can also sign in to the following page with the account you used to purchase Wowza Engine or Wowza Cloud:

Hi @Alex C thank you for responding. My Wowza Streaming Cloud Engine Menu looks like this.
The Wowza Player Menu does not show under when I select an application. Is this because I am using a different version of wowza from what you have. This is the version I have
Wowza Streaming Engine 4 for Amazon EC2 4.0.3.01 build11149
Please update to the latest version of Wowza Engine, it will have the Wowza Player option in the Manager UI.
Update details:

Once updated, try using Wowza Player then.
