Dear Forum Members,
I am new to wowza streaming engine and am evaluating v4.2 on windows.
I followed these instructions: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder
What confuses me are the details that I enter into my source server that I want to stream to wowza. From the guide it says:
Server URL: rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/live
Stream Name: myStream
User: publisherName
password: [password]
-
Where is “Stream Name” configured?
-
If my stream name is “surf1”, I must use this url in VLC: rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/surf1/surf1
Why must I repeat Stream Name in url?
- In my server that is streaming to the wowza, I specify “RTMP Target URI:” rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/surf1
“RTMP Public Stream Name:” surf1
And also the RTMP Username & RTMP Password.
I had to play with the settings and URLs a lot to figure out what worked. I think I am confused about how this is working.
Thank you!
