I assume you can play the direct output of Wirecast in quicktime player, but whatever comes from Wowza can only be played by Flash, and h.264 requires version 9.015.
It’s pretty easy to get your users to upgrade. I use the Flex framework that has version detection and an installer. I think CS3 has something like that too. And there is SWFObject.
I think RTMP to Wowza from Wirecast is covered, it’s the basic feature of the combo. Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread.

Thanks for the info.

I think these are limitations of Flash player mostly, not bugs.

If a video plays, but not well, I would look at bandwidth as the probable problem. Sounds like some of the options you are trying are too high bandwidth.
Richard
To resolve the MediaCasterStreamManager error, copy the jar file from that package/lib folder to wowza/lib, then restart Wowza.
In the encoding setting, try setting key frame to 30 (fps * 2)
Try pushing the quality setting down further, see how low you can go and still get good/acceptable quality video in the phone.

Take a look at the LiveVideoStreaming example player, which uses another technique to size the Video object that is more dependable and accurate then metadata.
It starts with this line in ncOnStatus when NetConnect.Connect.Success notification is received:
videoSizeTimer = setInterval(updateVideoSize, 500);

Ok thanks!
Does the EC2 WOWZA stream Quicktime from Vera Software’s Wirecast in any format? I like the features and could put it to work soon.
Thanks!
I’m eager to use the Wirecast app to do a live webcast while switching from live video to slides to recorded video and such. The Wirecast is very slick in the transitions and if I can get it to stream through WOWZA on the EC2 I have my solution. Wirecast only streams in Quicktime and Windows Media, so I am excited about the new WOWZA with H.264 capabilities, but I am on the WOWZA EC2 and I guess I will have to wait(?)
I’m open to checking out other webcast apps, but do want to stay on WOWZA and EC2.
Thanks for your input and/or suggestions.

I have successfully deployed the 1.5 preview 2 and have my stream live from wirecast (h.264) to wowza and can receive the video but not the audio. Any ideas on what to check would be appreciated.
my stream is: rtmp://fast.shangby.com/live
name: wow.sdp
Video plays fine - audio is absent… I have double checked all in wirecast and know that it is sending video and audio as I can get the audio on a separate quicktime version of the same stream with the same encoder preset.
Thanks

Hello.
It continues to Mr.Masateru.
I publish detailed information.
*Investigation report
1.SD Cam(480i)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*480(RTMP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Good! 30fps.
2.SD Cam(480i)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*480(RTP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Good! 30fps.
3.HD Cam(720P)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*360(RTMP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Not good! Movie is Slow motion.
4.HD Cam(720P)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*360(RTP)H.264 -->WowzaPro1.7Live–>Flash10 Not good!! 1fps #.
#Even if Config file of WowzaPro1.7 is adjusted, it becomes 1fps.
5.HD Cam(720P)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*360(RTP)H.264–>QuickTimeSreamingServer Live–>QuikTimePlyer7 Good! 30fps
*RTP:WireCast3.5.2 Setting Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server.(myStram.sdp)
The reproduction with the QuikTime player was normal.
(The Broadcast packet of WireCast3.5 was normal.)
There seems to be a problem in the frame processing of WowzaPro1.7.
It is unquestionable for 480i.(Case1 or Case2.)
There is a problem at 1080HDV or 720P(HDV). (Case3 or Case4.)
As for FMS, it was a same deal.
6.SD Cam(480i)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*480(RTMP)H.264 -->FMS3.5Live–>Flash10 Good! 30fps Good!
7.HD Cam(720P)30fps–>WireCast3.5.2 1Mb/s640*360(RTMP)H.264 -->FMS3.5Live–>Flash10 Not good! Movie is Slow motion.
A H.264live source of the High-Definition Mode cannot be treated.
It was unquestionable for RTP by WowzaPro1.5.
Is there a good method?
The problem part turned out.
It is possible to reproduce it in the following environments.
1.OS:WindowsXP SP2
2.CPU:Core2Quad 2.8G.
3.Memory4GB.
4.WireCast 3.5.2
*Flash type ; rtmp://ServerName:1935. StreamName:myStream.
5.HD-SDI input 720P.
6.Server WowzaPro1.7path-7 or FMS3.5.
7.FlashPlayer10.
*Live Sample.
*Please select blank(silent) audio with WireCast3.5.2.
*At that time, the FlashVideoMovie becomes slow motion.
*When DeckLink Audio is selected, it recovers.
*It was necessary to select only Video by the H.264 encode when in the HD signal, there was no SDI-Audio.
*In the encode of QuickTime (QuickTimeServer), there is no problem.
The processing of blank(silent) audio might be bad with WireCast.
Or,Is the processing of silent audio of the server bad?
Whether the WowzaPro(or FMS) or WireCast is a cause is not understood.
It reported on the same content to the WireCast support.
In addition, it examined it in detail.
As for animation, SD was delayed(Slow movement).
It is not worse than HD.
Animation is delayed(Slow movement) only a little.
When the input of Audio becomes silent when Video&Audio has been selected, it is useless.
Will it be a characteristic of FlashPlayer?
Thank you.
About a high bandwidth.
640*360 2Mb/s
1280*720 2Mb/s
1280*720 3Mb/s
All were the same.
There is no problem when only Video is checked and encoded.
There is no answer from the WireCast support yet.
Hi,
A silent Audio problem of WireCast3 was solved.
It doesn’t happen if it is a player of ActionScript3.0.
I was surprised because the version influenced it in such a place.

Hi,
I cannot transmit using Wirecast / Quicktime using mac, but I can transmit fine using adobe flash encoder with windows. Telnet to wowza server port 1935 from mac is responding fine, So, the problem is not the firewall ports in mac. Nothing in logs when I try connect from mac, only when I connect using adobe flash encoder.
Anyone can help-me?
thanks,
Andre.
I’m new with these media servers so don’t know if this is possible. I have done quicktime broadcast (h.264) from wirecast to wowza server. Is it possible to set output rtmp-server url where the stream would go from wowza server (like in flash media encoder)?
Ok, lets try again ;).
I have done live broadcast with wirecast and encoded with wowza pro like your instructions said. It works great as it should and other people can watch the stream from my server with flashplayer.
So everyone who know my site can watch the stream from my server. What I like to do next is that I would stream my broadcast to another website that lets it users stream their live video on their site. On that site you can use your webcam or dvcam with flash media encoder which streams the video to other users. You just have to give FME their RTMP-server URL (I think their server is FMS).
So is it possible to set wowza to stream the broadcast to that websites rtmp-server. My wowza server would be set as origin-server and that other server would act like edge-server.
Don’t know if I made it any more clearer than last time. 
Hi
I streamed the image of HD to WowzaMediaServerPro(1.7.0-patch7) by using Wirecast(3.5.2 ).
It was an image to which the frame was missed when the image was seen.
It was feeling that had been reproduced with 1fps when it set with 30fps image was seen.
However, when the image was SDTV, it was unquestionable.
If it sets where, it repaired?

Hi there,
I followed your steps and until numerb 8 there’s no problem, but when I try to start the Broadcast, I get several failures, I can’t say when witch failure appears, it feels like random. But here they are:
Time-out of the Server
Cannot connect to Wowza and the Wowaz cmd window, prints out that there is something missing in the /installdir/applications/_deapp folder, bute there’s no such folder.
And sometimes when I ran Wirecast for a special amount of time my system shuts down completely.
I really do not know what the problem might be, but to me it seems that the Wirecast cannot send teh stream to Wowza for a reason. Do I have to make special settings first?
thanks for your help!
