Question by Zach Goldsmith · Oct 15, 2016 at 12:57 AM · live streaming and encoders

Facebook stream type Ambient Livestream

Hi,

Due to how Facebook applies its security logic we're unable to connect to Facebook outside of the Engine Manager at this moment. We do know customers would like a different method but for now this is the only one available.

Regards,

Paul


Will there be an option through the Wowza Streaming App, to additionally send the stream_type="AMBIENT" option when configuring the Facebook Live stream target? I've tried hand-editing the PushPublishMap.txt of the application to add "facebook.streamType:"ambient", with no success. It is very time consuming to go back and delete videos on Facebook Accounts. With passing stream_type="AMBIENT" through the Facebook API, the simulcasts from Wowza to Facebook Accounts will automatically expire, instead of them being publicly accessible. This is crucial when Facebook Live is being used to solicit viewers to view a broadcast at the source.

Hi n0risc,

You should be able to achieve this by enabling the Continuous Live option when setting up the Facebook Stream Target.

Regards,

Alex
