Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied

Hello! I try to test locally live streaming using Wirecast like in https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-telestream-wirecast-live-encoder-with-wowza-streaming-engine, but when I open Flash RTMP Player and click to start, in status under player i recive: Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied. Like in tutorial I choose in Wirecast RTMP Flash Server and as a address: rtmp://localhost:1935/live. In Flash RTMP Player html page I put rtmp://localhost/live and MyStream, but nothing happend. Also method with Flash media playback https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-play-your-first-live-stream-video-tutorial also dosen’t work.

Hi there, are you trying to stream the sample.mp4 file, or other file as live or a live stream from a webcam? If you are trying to stream a file other then sample.mp4 make sure the file is located in [install-dir]/content

One other possible issue I see (maybe just a typo), is you are using a stream name of MyStream, stream names are case sensitive, so if you have myStream set in Wirecast, you need to use myStream in the player.
