check server:8086/serverinfo.xml and server:8086/connectioncounts.xml to see if you're getting the raw data in XML.

This uses a combination of connectioncounts.xml and serverinfo.xml from Andrew's module.

ec2-describe-instances will do it, I think.

Awesome! Thanks for the script. Haven't tried it just yet, but it looks good. Do you know how to return the public hostname of the EC2 instance once it is started up?

Hi,

Your PHP code is great, as I am not PHP coder. I have tried to use your code, but ut is not showing the connections as for Marcuscorrea

The packetizing for HTTP is done at the edge level. Communication between the servers is over RTMP. However, even if the packetizing were done on the origin server, an edge wouldn't generate any more load than a single client.

Hi Friend, I have a question for you. How do you doing the "packetizing" of HLS, RTSP ? At Origin or Edge server? My question is because if you have a lot o edge servers, all the load will be in Origin Server. Thank you

It's not all that complicated, just set up an EC2 instance, SSH into it, and then it's pretty much just like a normal server.

I am lost in the setup process - please give me a buzz - I have used wowza before - the amazon world is losing me a bit. Any help is super appreciated.

I don't know if the camera has an onscreen menu, but those functions can be controlled via the serial ports.

Hi! This is a great idea and we want to try it.
On the EVI-D70's, do you know if you can access an on-screen menu to set colors and white balance?

File based, I think the answer is no, but you can use
Stream class stream controller to do it:

Instance capacity is from the Wowza documentation.

How did you come up with the Mbps capacity/instance type?

Re: Browser-aware player code, revisited

Ian Beyer — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:55:18 -0000

You can either configure it client-side with the JW Player levels directive, or you can do it server-side on Wowza (3.0.4 and later) with jwplayer.rss portion of the medialist HTTPProvider.

Hi Ian,
This is great, although I had a few questions.. we specialize in live streaming and does the JW Player + Wowza combination help us with adaptive dynamic streaming? If not.. how can we use multiple bitrates for flash, multiple bitrates for iOS, rtsp for BB/droid on the same player/page?
We have some issues with our wowza on ec2 setup as well... how can u help us?

Enjoyed the post. Two questions for you. 1) In AWSSDKforPHP\_samples\lib there is a progress_bar sample. Any idea how to incorporate it into the script? 2) Any guess as to how large a file the script will handle?

This generator looks great thank you....but can you add new playlists and videos without restarting the Wowza Media Server?....like the http provider method??

Can you post the code if the authentication is admin-digest?

The formatted code on the page should be copy/paste capable in most browsers

joell lapitan — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:20:21 -0000

is it too much to ask about a downloadable version of your code?

Re: PHP Direct Upload to S3

Ian B — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:14:34 -0000

Nope, strictly decorative.

Re: PHP Direct Upload to S3

joell lapitan — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:37:21 -0000

one more thing, the "footer.php" is that a required file or not?

Sometimes you can also get certificate errors when your system clock is out of sync with amazon's .
