Monitoring LIVE STREAMING events

Posted: Nov 16, 2009

Dear FLOWPLAYER,

I have Pro LICENCE from WOWZA that we use mainly for live streaming, as we are doing the PSEUDO STREAMING for the rest of our Video-On-Demand.

I have Un-LIMITED licence that we use on our web site to watch the live streaming

Herewith, I would like to tell you the following config :

1. We have 2 concurrent Live streaming (say Streaming-1a and Streaming-1b) on our WOWZA LICENCE-1
2. We have 2 concurrent Live streaming (say Streaming-2a and Streaming-2b) on our WOWZA LICENCE-2
3. I find it difficult to monitor the LIVE STREAMING for all of the total of 4 Concurrent and continous LIVE STREAMING.
4. The LIVE STREAMING (Video with Audio) is done from our office using our VIDEO PLAYER connected to a PC (with OSPREY and FME), then streamed using network/internet to our WOWZA LIVE STREAMING Server (RTMP).

5. Users then browse the LIVE STREAMING using web-based and our FLOW PLAYER LICENCE.
4. This require me and my staff to monitor the actual PC to see each one of the actual LIVE STREAMING
5. Sometime a LIVE STREAMING fail for many reasons such as the INPUT is error (cable un-plugged, etc), or even our internet/network connection error, in which case nothing is sent to our WOWZA LIVE STREAMING Server.

My questions :
1. Is there any way that we would be able to know if a certain specific stream name for example "streaming-1b" has failed to upload, and that the WOWZA STREAMING SERVER is not receiving any uploaded stream with the name of "streaming-1b" ?

2. OR, is there a way we could built a script on the receiving WOWZA PLAYER side, so that when we monitor the stream and when there isn't any stream that would cause the FLOW PLAYER to display "STREAM NOT FOUND, NETSTREAM.PLAY, STREAMNOTFOUND [CLIP].... "streaming-1b"

3. OR, is there any easy way for us to be able to monitor these stream, and get NOTIFY by email, if the "streaming-1b" signal is error ?

I thank you very much for your help in these matters, as we do not have anyone else to asked about this in Indonesia.

We have a similar need, we need to switch to pre-recorded stream if there is no live stream. I'm pretty sure it will require building an extension for Wowza in their IDE. One of our sites does something kinda similar to yours and I have it make certain players available by watching the error codes and allowing certain div layers to appear. This method is kinda touchy and hopefully I can refine it more.

Subbed this thread in case anyone else has any ideas.

1.Being able to switch to pre-recorded stream if there is no live streams, is a VERY GOOD Idea, since then you can broadcast something to let the user know what had happened.

2. BUT, how would I be able to switch to a pre-recorded stream ? What do I need to do ?

3. Watching the error code from the WOWZA Streaming Server Side, or watching the error from FLOWPLAYER user side ?

The solution I've begun working with has two sides.

1. The live stream ends, so what I plan on doing is implementing the clustering plugin to watch for stream failures, and automatically switch to pre-recorded video.

2. When a live stream starts I've begun developing a small Ajax script which checks the server for a live stream on a set interval, when a live stream is available I will be using the content plugin to alert the user that they can now switch to a live stream.

I don't know Java so if i can stick with Ajax, Javascript and PHP I'm happy. I don't want to build extensions for Wowza :P

@DeanB - im trying to do something very similar to your setup. We have only a live stream a few hours a day and if on site i want the users video player to automatically switch to the stream. If a stream is not present it should give them on demand clips. Can you supply any further info on the method or scripts you used in your application. thanks.
