Application rtp-live

Hey Everyone,

I would like to know how can I configure a Wowza Streaming Engine for rtp-live instead of live (that comes pre-configured). Which files need to change?

P.S: Wowza version 4.0.4 in a AMI EC2 with live, vod and vod3.

Hi,

You can change your application’s Application.xml file and change the Application/Streams/StreamType value from “live” to “rtp-live”.

Hi,

When using rtp-live stream type in your application’s configuration file, the source stream will be published to Wowza only when the first client tries to connect to the .stream StreamName. Also, the connection between Wowza and the live source will be dropped when the last playback clients disconnects from that stream.

Guilherme,

For the Apple HLS stream to be active, the data packets need to be packetized. Wowza will start packetizing the Apple HLS stream as soon as the stream is published. The stream is not published if there isn’t at least one client requesting the stream.

Hey Zoran. Thank for reply.

And using rtp-live i need to publish streams? Because i would like only have a stream file in content and to access without publish. Is it possible?

Guilherme

Oh, Thanks Zoran!

Only one more question: and HLS streams? Because I have some streams published in live stream type and see that to stream for iOS and Android devices are automatically created like :

htt p://[wowza-ip]:1935/live/name_stream.stream/playlist.m3u8

and

rtsp://[wowza-ip]:1935/live/name_stream.stream

Are in mode rtp-live also generated automatically?

Guilherme

All right Zoran!

Thank you for all informations.

Best Regards,

Guilherme
