if i play the video from amazon link it will play now how from wowza !!! https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazonz3/mybucket/videos/coolvideos/big.mp4

Please take a look at the following guide for steps on how to integrate with Amazon S3.

In the Manager, click Server at the top, then Media Cache.

Click the Sources Tab

Click Add a New Source. Make the name “amazons3” for this example, but it can be anything you want.

Click Source Type, select AmazonS3. This will populate the Prefix box below to “amazons3/”, which you shoud accept for this example, but can be changed if you want.

Under AWS Options, leave the the first checkbox (Use Amazon S3 bucket name in domain) unchecked, at least for the moment. Then enter you AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key

You have to re-start.

Then you can playback with url like:

rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/mediacache/amasons3/[your-bucket/path]/sample.mp4

Richard

You need to add the application instance (definst) in the playback url when there are path elements to the right of the app name. Like this:

rtmp://192.168.1.4:1935/mediacache/_definst_/amasons3/amazonz3/test/sample.mp4

Richard

Next step, go into AWS console and make the file public. Then try. If that works, your keys might be wrong.

Richard

We’ll have to take a closer look at your setup, s3 bucket, and playback URL. Please re-start Wowza, test what you have in place using the RTMP Test Player, then zip up the /conf and current access (showing re-start and test) to support@wowza.com

Include a direct link to the asset you are trying to stream from S3 in the AWS console, right click the file and select Properties, then copy the link from the properties page. If you can, provide two links to S3 files: One that is been made public (using AWS console, right click the file and select that option), and one that is not public.

Include a link to this thread.

Richard

I’m not sure if you are using ec2 or are trying to do this on a standalone server. Maybe the problem is that you are doing the latter, in which case please see this guide.

If this doesn’t help, please let us more detail about where you are getting stuck so we can best try to help.

thx it start to be more clear but did not work yet :

i think im not far from the solution let go steb by steb to see where is my error :

my sample.mp4 on amazon is in :

All Buckets /amazonz3/test/sample.mp4 so my bucket is : amazonz3 and my patch is : test ( all right ? )

on server side wowza on source :

prefix : amazons3/

base path : http://s3.amazonaws.com/

AWS Access Key ID : AKIAICPPL6SAOVxxxxxx ( i got it from IAM pannel ) all right ?

AWS Secret Access Key : V9fLEbWig/Q5dsU1bujCJR/JpOpyma9ixxxxxxxx ( i got it from IAM pannel )

Validate Configuration

Enter a sample content file path/name you want to stream: amazons3/mybucket/mypath/sample.mp4

Using the Prefix, Base Path, and sample content you entered, the full address to your content is: :

http://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/mypath/sample.mp4

finally in vlc i try to play like this :

rtmp://192.168.1.4:1935/mediacache/amasons3/amazonz3/test/sample.mp4 ( dont work !!! ) what i do wrong !!!

thx richard but still not work !!! sorry but where is my problem !!! thx do u think that my config is right now ? !!! maybe (definst) must be configured some where !!!

it start to be funny but did not work the the file i make public !!! the keys i get from : Your Security Credentials panel i create 2 key and i test them both not work !!!

my test mp.4 file is on amazon s3 on location : /amazonz3/test/sample.mp4

my source config is :

Prefix * : amazons3/

base path * : http://s3.amazonaws.com/

AWS Access Key ID : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
