CMS and Wowza integration for VOD and Live Streaming

[Manish Prasad]

Hi Guys,

Anybody have implemented Wowza with Cisco CMS ? Any document on Wowza and CMS integration ?

Thanks

Manish

This question has been asked before.  Have a look at Cisco Meeting Server integration with Wowza Streaming engine? where it was suggested to configure it in a similar way to what you would for vBrick - see Configure and Troubleshoot CMS live streaming with VBrick DME

Thanks Wayne , i already have gone through VBrick document and also setup streaming at CMS server. Problem comes in when we setup live streaming at Wowza end. We are not sure which encoder require to setup on Wowza for CMS. Can you share any document or implementation experience with Wowza ?

How to specifically set up the Wowza end is probably a better question for the Wowza Support Community, but CMS 2.1 and up supports live streaming using standard RTMP, so should work fine with Wowza and other platforms that support this standard (YouTube, Facebook, etc).  Have a look at How to set up live streaming using an RTMP-based encoder.

Note: The only Cisco Supported Live Streaming platform is vBrick DME, so you won't get any support from TAC if you have any issues using Wowza.
