The suggestion of using one machine is just as a stepping stone, for testing, and when you were having problems with multiple machines. You said you had an edge working on another machine, so you’re past that anyway.
Richard
The redirect application StreamType should be “default”, or it doesn’t matter, but just leave it as “default”
Sounds like you have two servers setup as Load Balance Senders. Which ever has fewer connections is the “least loaded server”
Richard
This is working correctly. The connection rejection is how redirect works. You can use JW Player 5 to handle the rejection/redirect. It is all covered in the documentation, and in previous posts in this thread.
Richard
Flowplayer has built-in support for this reject/redirect mechanism. Just connect to the redirect application and it will handle it. You have to using a recent version of Flowplayer.
If you cannot play the live stream with Flowplayer from the orgin or the edge, but you can do it with the LiveVideoStreaming example player, then you are doing something wrong with Flowplayer.
If you cannot play either with LiveVideoStreaming player either, then you are doing something wrong with the Liverepeater (origin/edge) configuration.
Richard
Great! Glad it’s working. Thanks for the update.
I suggest you keep the “provider=rtmp”. Sometimes it is actually optional, and other times it is necessary.
Richard
It should work. Try it. Use the private IPs instead.
Richard
No, it is not support.
Richard
will the blackbery support the multibitrate with smil file?
both
But client side it is flash-client I am asking for. can we do it ?
And on server side, I think jitter buffering is only for audio buffering, can it buffer video ?
- In which file this value can be set?
2)Is there any way to restrict the no of client connection to the Wowza server?
I mean the no of connections(for eg allow only 500 connections at a time)
- Is thre any way to view the client connections?
4)I need to record a live video from a particular point to another point (not the whole video). How to do that ?
1)I have used this Livestreamrecord package. And when accessing it i can get those options (start recording, stop recording). And i pressed the “start recording” and after some time stoped it by “stop recording”. But where this file saved ? I coudnt find it?
2)I think the above method is for clients(it can be used on server side also). Is there any other method that we can do on demand storage on the server side
Let me explain the process. First of all we will add those jar file to server(insalllocation/lib).
Then add the module in Application.xml. And suppose that we are hosting that page(I mean that “livestreamrecord.html” ) on our web server. And suppose that a remote client is accessing that page on its browser.
At that time he would have an option to start & stop record. …For this reason I think that this is for clients. …In this case where this file is saved?
-
And u told that on the server side if we are recording it (by the start record & stop record options) a new video file is saved on the “install-location/content” directory. I have checked that location. But there is no such file created or saved. What is the problem.?
-
My third question is Do we have any option to store some portion of video on the Wowza server (uploaded from a client(for example FMLE) ) using jconsole or any other way.
.
All ur information was very much helpful to me…

thank u…
- Ok i will check my configuration. My configuration taken from quickstart.html->How to publish and play a live stream (RTMP or RSTP/RTP based encoder). The stream type I set as “live-record”. And added those module and copied .jar files to “install-dir/lib” locaion
2)I am using FMLE upload live videos to my Wowza server. I want to allow only some specific users to upload files using FMLE(or any other encoder). How to do that…?
Thank u
It was resolved already I have changed the stream from “live-record” to “live”
My live sream name is “vlc1.sdp” which is uploaded from FMLE. And the file stored as “vlc1.sdp.flv”. And the problem is I cannnot play those files 
.
2)I want to allow only some specific users to upoad to “live” application. how to do that…?
I have tried it by copying the video file (vlc1.sdp.flv ) in the content folder of the application “vod”. But when I am trying to play it ( using stream name “mp4:vlc1.sdp.flv”) it does not plays and with an output “Failed to play vlc1.sdp.flv; stream not found”.
Extremists.m4v
Note: Using my “vod” application I cannot play the file “Extremists.flv” but “Extremists.m4v” is working fine…So does the “vod” cannot play flv files…?
Sorry It was my problem. I had to use “flv:Extremists.flv” instead of “mp4:Extremists.flv”.
It is working for “Extremists.flv” also
I have also changed “mp4:vlc1.sdp.flv” to “flv:vlc1.sdp.flv” Now that Output (“Failed to play vlc1.sdp.flv; stream not found.”) is gone. But even the video is not playing.
Rihard,
Is there any way to resolve the above problem…? …
I couldnt find it.
I have configured a load balncer and an edge server…I want my loadbalancer should work as an edge server also…So I added the required lines to the config files of load balancer…and the out put of the query indicates that the configuraton is working fine…
here is the query…and output…
output:

192.168.1.19
9ec08857-9d26-4f5a-bf06-7b1950c7c63e
my setup:
192.168.1.19: load balanser cum edge server 192.168.1.103:edge server.
192.168.1.19: woza on centos 5.3
192.168.1.103: windows XP installed on virtual box which is on 192.168.1.19.
let me explain…my configuration…
I have configured the vod application in the load balancing wowza server(192.168.1.19) as an application that redirects to the least loaded server by contacting loadbalancer server (192.168.1.19). when the least loaded server is the the edge server (192.168.1.103) the redirection works correctly…But when the least loaded server is the load balancer itself (192.168.1.19; it is also configured as an edge server…) theconnection request (ie…rtmp://192.168.1.19/vod") get redirected to the the edge server: 192.168.1.103 (even the query " http://192.168.1.19:1935/loadbalancer" displays the least loaded server as “redirect=192.168.1.19” ). So what is the problem?..Does the load balancing wowza server can act as an edge server?
Make your test machine an Origin and an Edge. Then publish a stream to the Origin,
Sorry for asking this silly question…I have reffered the Readme.html given with the package to configure the load balancer server…So actually I dont know what is an origin
server and how to set up it…Can u plz help me…?
[*]Make your test machine an Origin and an Edge. Then publish a stream to the Origin, then connect to the Edge with a player and subscribe to the stream. When you see the stream playing from the edge that is being published to the origin, origin/edge is working.
thank u rishard,
I have tried with what u told in the first step. I created an 2 applications “liverepeater” (the orgin) “liverepeater2” (the edge ) on my server…and published to “liverepeater” …but I couldnt access it from the edge…(liverepeater2)…
but i can access it from the origin…
So I configured the liverpeater-edge server on another wowza machine (with the same name of origin ie “liverepeater” ) and it worked well …!!! So what is the problem when configuring both origin and edge on the same machine itself…?
And then I configured the origin application as a redirect application…then I restarted wowza …then the FMLE cannot connect to the server for publishing… When I removed the lines for redirection it is working as previous…
