Connect StreamEez to Wowza in offline LAN

I’ve followed https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-connect-the-hauppauge-streameez-pro-to-wowza-streaming-engine step by step and got StreamEez working with Wowza if my router is connected to the Internet.

However, in my use case, I will need the system to work in an Internet denied environment. I’ve setup my router to create its own LAN, have the encoder box publishing high quality RTMP feed connected to the router by Ethernet, and have various devices connected wirelessly.

I also ensured that the very first time Wowza starts, it is still in an Internet enabled environment, so that it could check the license server, before taking the Internet away.

I observed the following behavior:

  1. StreamEez keeps getting disconnected and have to reconnect

  2. Wowza access logs (see below) keeps showing a HTTP 401 response for “connect session”

  3. When compared to my successful attempts, I don’t see the HTTP 401 response code (it will be 200)

  4. There’s nothing relevant on the error log.

I hunted online and most 401 errors points to publisher credentials issue. I’ve triple verified that I got my publisher username and passwords right (in fact they work before, so there shouldn’t be any reason it doesn’t work in a LAN).

What am I doing wrong?

What other logs are there to see besides those in the logs directory? or how do I get specific guidance on troubleshooting this?

Thanks

Hello.

I would suggest contacting support@wowza.com to inquire on how to run Wowza with no internet connection.

This is now being handled in a ticket. Closing the thread.
