Question

i am sending live rtmp stream to wowza server with a live application config but everytime i connect to the stream for watching the live stream, its start from the beginning of the stream. I can see wowza is creating bigger and bigger file in /content directory and this file will everytime be played from the beginning.

How can i say wowza to send it live, like send the last 10 seconds of the file?

Best regards,

Chris

Follow these instructions to create a live stream and broadcasting it

Go to the Wowza Media Server Directory. Probably it is /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer

cd applications;mkdir live

Here live is your application name

cd ../conf;mkdir live;cp Application.xml live/

Now edit the Application.xml file

cd live;vim Application.xml

Change the stream type default to live

live

set HTTPStreamers

cupertinostreaming,smoothstreaming,sanjosestreaming

set LiveStreamPacketizers to

cupertinostreamingpacketizer, smoothstreamingpacketizer, sanjosestreamingpacketizer

set Playmethod

none

Now go to your browser and open the player

file:///usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html

Server : rtmp://;1935/live
Stream :

Note * : For live streaming you have to use an encoder ( Adobe Flash media Live Encoder , etc )
