Hi,
Looking at the Wowza tutorial link below, it seems that Wowza also
needs the "mp4:" after the application name and before the directory
path in the rtmp link. The only difference from FMS seems to be that it
requires the "_definst_" instance name, which FMS assumes by default if
no instance is informed:
http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?35#playback
This is the relevant note:
*Note:* To play content that is not at the root of the content folder
you must add the default application instance name to the URL. For
example if you have a file at the path
*[install-dir]/content/myvideos/sample.mp4*, the URLs for the different
stream technologies are:
*Flash player* (RTMP)
Code:
Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]/vod
Stream: mp4:myvideos/sample.mp4
Single URL: rtmp://[wowza-address]/vod/_definst_/mp4:myvideos/sample.mp4
Thus, an rtmp link in the form:
rtmp://server/matterhorn-engage/_definst_/mp4:dir1/dir2/file.mp4 should
work with both FMS and Wowza.
Thanks,
Rute

Hi Ruben, Hank,
I was looking at the Wowza documentation and it also has the
concept of "application" as FMS does. So, I am just wondering if Wowza
accepts both forms? I recall Hank said that the rtmp link is working
with Wowza as is, but I was wondering if he could try to use the other
form and see if it works too? I am curious...
Thanks,
Rute

The "application" convention is certainly present in Wowza and I
believe Red5 as well.

It would be interesting to know if Wowza is effectively following
the same convention. We have already have bizarre integration
problems with FMS because it follows its own conventions as to
the syntax of the media to stream.
We would be happy to have that patch attached to the main source
code, since we are FMS users ourselves, but I think we shouldn't
stick to a certain notation if it's not shared by the popular
streaming alternatives, too (I'm not saying it's not, just
willing to get confirmation of it). I may be wrong here, but
"application" seems like an internal FMS concept, which may not
be share by other streaming servers. It also seems to me like an
unnatural place to put the tag (I'd rather expect it to be before
the filename or at the beginning of the URL), that's why I'm
trying to be cautious here.

Hi Rute,
> We use FMS here with our current system to stream mp4
files and the "mp4:" tag should come after the application
name. So, if the file resides several directory levels below
e.g. dir1/dir2/file.mp4, the rtmp link should contain
"/app_name/mp4:dir1/dir2/file.mp4" and not
"app_name/dir1/dir2/mp4:file.mp4". The links you list below
don't have examples with many levels of directories. I don't
know about Wowza, but I bet it is the same :)

should I submit it?)
We are certainly interested to apply your patch if you've go
this working! The correct for submitting patches is the
following:
1) Open a ticket in JIRA describing your problem.
2) Us the "attach" function to attach your patch
Also feel free to let the developers (on
[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>) know that you've
submitted a patch and would welcome feedback and integration
(optional step :-)
Tobias
