If you already have an existing External Wowza configuration , but are upgrading to Wowza 4, you will need to make the following change to the server.xml file for Wowza 4 to work properly with EchoSystem 5.5:
See the Configuring Wowza section below for additional configuration instructions. |
...
- Wowza is a Java application , and requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 or 7. Installers for your platform are available from Oracle.
- Download the Wowza Media Server installation bits for your platform from the Wowza installer page.
- Make a note of your Wowza license key, which will be required during installation.
- Proceed with the installation of Wowza on the server.
...
The next section provides instructions on configuring the content storage location that Wowza will use. The flash content does NOT need not to be in the same location as the program files.
...
In order for the Wowza server to find and stream the Flash content delivered by the ESS, that content must stored be stored on a volume that the Wowza application has read and write access to. This can be a local drive (that the ESS writes to via a network share), a mounted SMB/CIFS file share, or mounted NAS/SAN storage.
Consult your operating system’s documentation for configuring file shares, or contact Echo360 Technical Support for guidance.
Installing the On-Demand Bundle
...
- Download the latest Wowza On-Demand Bundle available from the Customer Support Portal.
- Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to your Wowza Media Server installation root. This will create the necessary folder structure, and will deposit Application.xml configuration files into each subfolder of the /conf directory.
...
- Download the latest Wowza Live Streaming Bundle available from the Customer Support Portal.
- Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to a temporary location on your Wowza server.
- Open the included README.html document and follow the instructions appropriate for your platform.
...
For your reference, a file named example-Server.xml is included with the Live Bundle files, that shows this change made to the file. This file contains a basic Wowza server configuration along with all of the necessary changes for iOS live streaming. It is not automatically installed as a part of the bundle (otherwise, it would have overwritten your existing Server.xml file).
