Release note for Wowza plugin version 2.0

New features

This is the Wowza plugin in the DOMS project. The purpose of the plugin is to enhances the Wowza streaming server with

Installation instructions for STAGE and PROD

Prerequisites for the installation

  1. Java 6
  2. Vlc video player installed
  3. Wowza Streaming Server version 2.2.3
  4. DOMS must be installed with ticket issuer

We assume that wowza have been configured in the way that SB it maintenance prefers. This means that

  1. There is one user account for the wowza, and the wowza server is installed in ~/wowza. The folder structure is assumed to be:
    1. ~wowza/
      1. bin/
      2. services/
        1. wowza_vhost_kultur/
        2. wowza_vhost_chaos/
        3. wowza_vhost_.../
      3. wowza/

Installation procedure

  1. Shutdown Wowza (not really nessesary, but please...)
  2. if nessessary remove any files in ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/
  3. Extract the plugin into ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/
  4. There should now be these directories
    • applications/
    • conf/
    • bin/
  5. The plugin is now installed, so it needs to be setup.
  6. go to ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/conf/doms
  7. In that folder, there are two files, Application.xml and doms-wowza-plugin.properties

  8. Edit doms-wowza-plugin.properties, so that these things are set correctly

    ticketCheckerLocation=ADDRESS OF TICKET CHECKER WEBSERVICE, MOST OFTEN http://DOMS_SERVER:PORT/authchecker
storageDir=WHERE THE VIDEO FILES ARE
broadcastExtractionServiceRestApi=ADDRESS OF BES, i.e. http://iapetus:9311/bes_DEVEL/rest/bes/
  9. The doms application is now configured
  10. go to ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/conf/domslive
  11. In that folder, there are two files, Application.xml and domslive-wowza-plugin.properties
  12. Edit domslive-wowza-plugin.properties, so that that the two settings mentioned above are set to the same value as for doms-wowza-plugin.properties.
  13. Edit Application.xml so that storageDir points to some temp folder where we can write .stream files for live streaming.
  14. The domslive application is now also configured

  15. Create a symbolic link ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/streamingContentPreview that points to the root folder of preview files.

  16. The preview application is now also configured
  17. Restart wowza. The wowza plugin install should now be complete
