Note: To run the examples on a machine that does not include a web browser, you must either copy the .html, .js, .gif, .png, .xap and .swf files to a machine that does include a web browser or make these files available through a web server on the machine running Wowza Server. Upon running the .html file, you will also need to change the rtmp:// URL to point to the ip address of the server running Wowza Server.
