Single URL for Encoder Configuration that combines Stream Name and RTMP URL

Just got a request from a producer to push a live stream through our infrastructure. The problem is that their encoder will only accept one value for settings and I need to incorporate the stream name into the RTMP URL.

This is a bit weird to me as I am not familiar with the encoder and do not have it in front of me.

What I would normally give:

RTMP URL: rtmp://www.streamer.com:1935/live

StreamName: Live_1_1@123456

so how do I take that and dump into a single URI, which I thought might be this:

rtmp://www.streamer.com:1935/live/Live_1_1@123456

but alas, no.

Any thoughts?

That should be correct, you can also try

rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]:[port]/[application]/[appInstance]/[prefix]:[path1]/[path2]/[streamName]

rtmp://www.streamer.com:1935/live/definst/Live_1_1@123456

(otherwise check your wowza error log to see what stream was requested / should be been requested)
