Hello everyone. Thanks for any help and suggestions.
So I have an amazon ec2 instance running with wowza server installed for live streaming audio and audio/video on demand. Everything is running fine…things seem to be going swimmingly as we have been live for a week now.
Everyday we have close to 80 people listen in on the live stream and usually that falls to 20-10 concurrent users listening to archived streams at any given time. We hope to increase this number in time.
We have the live/record app and the vod app that we use for streaming and vod/aod respectively. After the streaming show is done it saves the file to the content folder.
So I was cruising the file system checking out the content folder and thinking that eventually this folder is going to fill up and was curious how people navigate this part of streaming. It definitely feels like the easiest route. I tried briefly to maybe mount an s3 and it just didnt work for me. Does everyone keep files in the content folder and stream from them or do people have a better setup, especially if these shows need to be kept in perpetuity for archival/sear/historical reasons?
Thanks…any info and leads is a big help. Total newbie here and surprised I even made it this for.
Also, it seems i have instantiated an m3.medium instance on amazon which only gives me 4gb of space…So i’ll probably need to start a new instance and transfer everything over. Any knowledge on best ways and practices on how to go about this?
Thanks.
Jason
