How to add media to Wowza, the correct way.
The add2wowza
command is a custom written bash script written by Nathan Kadish. It simply automates the SMIL file creation for each new video. HD videos require four encoded versions, while SD requires 3.
HD: 1080x720, 1920x1080, 854x480, 640x360
SD: 480x360, 640x480, 720x540
The SMIL file simply lists the links to each encoded file, so this script takes the BASE_NAME
and turns that into the given filename for the encodings. Ex - if the Board meeting file coming from LGX is "Board20170724" then when you create the encodings in Adobe Media Encoder you will want to add "_540p" "_480p" and "_360p" to the file names so when they are done, they look like "Board20170724_480p"
HD Videos (i.e Sports)
- Open Adobe Media Encoder
- Load the HD file you want added to Wowza
- Under the Encoding Presets look for the Wowza HD (16:9) folder
- Set the duration of the video under default preset
- Drag and drop the four presets under the Wowza HD (16:9) Folder
- Set the export path to \\10.130.10.50\WowzaShare\SETVOD\{CategoryFolder}\
- Open PuTTY
- Connect to Wowza Server
- type
cd /media/vod2/SETVOD
- type
add2wowza
- Follow the prompts and copy the resulting link into wordpress
SD Videos (i.e. Board Meetings)
- Open Adobe Media Encoder
- Load the SD file you want added to Wowza
- Under the Encoding Presets look for the Wowza SD (4:3) folder
- Set the duration of the video under default preset
- Drag and drop the four presets under the Wowza SD (4:3) Folder
- Set the export path to \\10.130.10.50\WowzaShare\SETVOD\{CategoryFolder}\
- Open PuTTY
- Connect to Wowza Server
- type
cd /media/vod2/SETVOD
- type
add2wowza
- Follow the prompts and copy the resulting link into wordpress
Problems
- I encoded the files, and created the SMIL file via add2wowza but the player says "404: File Not Found" or there's a black screen with nothing playing
- Check the file names in the Wowza VOD folder,and that they have the "_720p"... appended
