How to solve wowza cloud streaming idle issue ?

[nirav_patel]

Hello Wowza,

I’m implementing a “paid wowza cloud streaming service” using “WowzaGoCoderSDK.framework” into my app and used wowza cloud rest API for creating, start, stop, state check streaming in my app.

My question is :

I will start streaming through API and response will
[“live_stream”: {

state = starting;

}],

After I check the streaming status through API and response will be

[“live_stream”: {

"ip_address" = “Stream IP Address”;

state = started;

}]

but the streaming state is started than display this error every time.

SDK Wowza State Error:-> Status is idle, error is “An error occurred when trying to connect to host: 8c0a02.entrypoint.cloud.wowza.com” (code = 15)

How can I solve this issue?

Have you tried it with authentication turned on and off?

Also, did you configure your settings already to start the stream in Cloud like port, IP/ host address and stream name? If so, where did you do this?

[Rose_Power-Wowza_Com]

Also. most likely, your DNS is not getting propagated fast enough for your api workflow. Check that the dns name you are using for your host is resolving (by sending a ping request); or use the ip_address returned in your api response.

Let us know how it goes. Thanks

Hello Rose,

• I was only below parameter used to create new streaming this API

• API URL : https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1.3/live_streams

Parameter for create new streaming :
“aspect_ratio_height”: 320,

“aspect_ratio_width”: 240,

“broadcast_location”: “us_west_california”,

“encoder”: “wowza_gocoder”,

“name”:“Stream_Name”,

and authentication used for only video encodeing process.

But I’m used only audio broadcasting and Streaming paid wowza cloud service.

=> I was used below parameter for goCoder Configure, by Live_Stream API response

config.hostAddress = host address

config.portNumbe = 1935

config.application = application name

config.streamName = stream name

config.username = username

config.password = password

config.audioBitrate = 64000

config.audioSampleR = 44100

config.audioChannel = 2

config.videoEnabled = false

config.audioEnabled = true

[Rose_Power-Wowza_Com]

So, you have video enabled to false. Are you trying to stream audio only then?

[nirav_patel]

Yes, I trying to only audio broadcasting/ Streaming

Hi Sir,

May i know if you finally resolve the issue?

I have a setup where i initially ingest a HLS stream to wowza to get RTMP output. This RTMP output will ingest to another stream. I already set the stream target and the connection is establish and manage to stream.

However, the stream always changed from “Active” to “waiting” status after some time and i need to disable n re-enable back the stream target to make it active. Do you have any idea how to set the stream run without change to waiting state?

Thank You
