They send me pre bottled scripted answers to questions I did not ask then ask me for information about the topography of the internet. I have submitted multiple tickets with Wowza and have been given no assistance. All but one of the active live streams all broke on the same day and I have been trying to get any of them to work again.
WOWZA STREAMING ENGINE ALTERNATIVES SOFTWARE
I was hired at my current company and no one had administered this software that was left at the company. I have not had a single positive interaction with the software or the support staff. The fact that all these link formats should in fact point to the same place and perform the same function, but that only one actually worked, is probably my biggest, and really only, complaint with the software.Ĭomments: My experience has been horrible. However, by thoroughly reviewing the software in order to fully document my case for further support, I was able to come up with a format that did function. The format that the support team sent me did not work. I am unsure why half of the references say to use the Java keytool to create certificates, and other references state a requirement for OpenSSL to perform actions for which the keytool is definitely capable.Īdditionally, there was some confusion regarding the format of the URL to get the videos to successfully play over HTTPS. The stated requirement and references to OpenSSL was particularly confusing, because this piece of software was not required to do what I needed. However, their documentation in this regard was a big sparse and I had to supplement this with additional research. does not actually have anything to do with Wowza software per se.
WOWZA STREAMING ENGINE ALTERNATIVES HOW TO
I realize that our use case was an edge case as compared to the standard Wowza user, and that learning how to set up https/SSL/Streamlock, creating certificates, etc. The documentation was, for the most part, very clear and easy to follow, and the support staff that I contacted were very responsive and helpful.Īs stated, the documentation was helpful, clear, and easy to follow, for the most part.
It is capable of doing everything we need it to do and much, much more. It was very easy to set up and use the streaming engine. We could copy and cache the videos on each user's machine, but it is far more efficient to be able to use a streaming video server to stream the videos over HTTPS and Wowza enables us to do this. Comments: We have customers that are requesting a level of security that requires all documents and files, including videos, to be transported over HTTPS.
