As mentioned I could get Sonifex PS-SEND working with Wowza using HTTP. In this case, Wowza will connect to the Sonifex’s IP address directly and start pulling audio. I use these settings:
- Sonifex PS-SEND:
Firmware version used: V1.021
Under “Basic Settings”:
ENCODING:
Encoding: MP3
Sample rate: 44.1KHz
Channel mode: stereo
STREAM SETTINGS:
Streaming mode: send always (recommended)
Connection type: HTTP
Under “Advanced Settings/Streaming”:
Radio path: /pssend (this is a default value, remeber it when configuring Wowza)
- Wowza:
Follow the Shoutcast re-stream example to create a live streaming application:
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-audio-from-shoutcast-icecast
Under “Publishing the stream” section, a xyz.stream file is explained. Add Sonifex IP and radio path here:
http:///pssend
- Experience:
The streaming will be quite stable, will have 4-5 seconds of delay. It is good idea to add your xyz.stream file to StartupStreams.xml, so when Wowza is restarted it reconnects again to your Sonifex PS-SEND. When this latter is rebooted or reconnected to the network the stream will automatically start.
