Existing users upgrading to EchoSystem 5.4 5 or any of the 5.4 5 Service Packs, and who are using an Internal configuration of Wowza can continue to do so; the ESS will work with the existing Wowza v3.5, and will update the necessary items on upgrade. However, if you want to upgrade to Wowza 4, you must change to an External Configuration of Wowza. Upgrading to Wowza 4 and converting to an External Wowza media server configuration are both strongly recommended. The instructions linked above provide all the necessary steps for installing and configuring an external Wowza or Adobe media server. |
