Media server configuration: Wowza Media Server for Flash
The Content Server default installation supports only HTTP-based on demand streaming of MPEG-4
for Flash from its local IIS web server. An external media server must be set up for live unicast and
true (RTMP) on-demand streaming of MPEG-4 for Flash. Only the Wowza Media Server for Flash is
supported for streaming MPEG-4 for Flash content.
Saving the Media server configuration checks that the server is available at the specified server
address and displays the server type, if the information is available. Unicast live streaming from the
Wowza Media Server for Flash (RTSP announce) is also tested when the Media server configuration
is saved.
You can set up a Media server configuration for a Wowza Media Server for Flash to do live and/or on
demand streaming.
