Unknown incoming RTMP connection

[Dee_Harris]

Hi,

I have setup a live application to accept incoming RTMP connections. This is working as expected.

However when I start up the Wowza server everytime I get an incoming stream -

myStream/unknown

I reboot the server and then the incoming connection is there.

Is there a way to block this incoming stream or work out where it is coming from.

Content is the big buck bunny video.

You likely have Wowza Streaming Engine configured to start our sample.mp4 file as a looping live stream. There are two methods to do this. I have provided links to each method.

This is a simple VOD to live stream.

This is how to have a video loop until the main live stream heads into Wowza Streaming Engine.

Note that the function above is part of the module below.

If the issue persists then you can either look in your latest wowzastreamingengine_access.log file and find the IP address of the incoming RTMP stream. If so you may need change the username and password under Source Authentication so that encoder can no longer log in or to block that IP address via Wowza Streaming Engine Manager. We have an article on how to do this and have linked directly to that section.

If that does not work then please send us a ticket via your Wowza Portal and include the following.

[wowza-install-dir]/conf
[wowza-install-dir]/logs
[wowza-install-dir]/transcoder
[wowza-install-dir]/content (Only .smil, .sdp, and .stream files if they exist. No streaming media video content.)
If you are not sure how to get this information please see the following tutorial:

1) We only require the last 10 days of logs. This should help limit the data set size for uploading into our ticket system as well as speed up our investigation of any reported issue, We also have a 20Mb hard limit on attachments. If it is larger than that then please provide us with a location to download them from and limit the extracted file size to 10GB.

2) Please make sure you provide logs which show Wowza server starting. When the service is started the initial information about the environment, tuning, and versions of Wowza Streaming Engine as well as the Java version are posted and this information is valuable for our investigation.
