Impossible to see the live

Hello some time ago I could read live on vlc in rtmp but for some time after taking the license of wowza because before I had it in tests, now I can no longer read live in rtmp nor in RTSP formats , MPEG-DASH and HLS,

I use Wirecast to send the live.

Thank you

Hello and welcome, can you explain a bit more so I can try and help?

  1. Are you saying you are streaming in RTMP, but can’t play back in RTSP, DASH or HLS?
  2. What do the logs say?
  3. Are you sure your license is still valid?
  4. Does Streaming Engine manager show the stream is coming into wowza?

You tagged webrtc so I’m a bit confused, can you explain your workflow please? Thanks.

Hello Rose
1 Yes that’s it I send the stream in RTMP by wirecast and I can not play it on RTSP, DASH, RTMP or HLS?
3 before I was in testing and reading in rtmp worked but the others did not work since June 11, 2021 I bought the license and nothing works anymore

4 When I launch the stream I see it in “Incoming Streams”

Default Instance (definst)
Stream Status Actions
myStream
rtmp: // myip: 57206 Active

myStream_160p
local (Transcode) Active

myStream_360p
local (Transcode) Active

myStream_source
local (Transcode) Active

for webtc I just put the tags for now I haven’t done anything on them yet

2 Want to know what with the logs?

Thank You

Ok thanks, well if it’s working in Engine Manager then I suspect the playback url is not set up properly or you do not have those playback types checked off in Engine Manager, but they are checked “on” by default.

Do you have an SSL cert or StreamLock and are you trying to stream over HTTPS? If you do not have SSL configured and you’re trying to play this back on an HTTPS site, it won’t work, but it should work in the test players.

Yes, if you give me the main error message from the logs that would be helpful. But, please do not share them all. Just the one you think is most helpful error message.

In the meantime, here is a full video tutorial on how to to stream RTMP to Wowza and to have it play back on HLS or Dash. You should be able to click on your incoming video in Engine Manager like Justin does in this video and click on “test players” to try it out. Justin also shows you how to test it out in other free players like VLC Player.

Hello, I just reinstalled wowza and everything works again, but the streams work on vlc and when I copy the M3U8 address on the browser in my phone it works but when I test on the wowza player or on its sites the videos do not not working https://www.hlsplayer.net/, https://castr.io/hlsplayer/ and https://www.wowza.com/testplayers

Yes I have StreamLock installed on the server

when I send the stream in secure it works idem not secure but impossible to read the secure stream

Thank you
