Icecast re-streamed in RTMP by Wowza

Dear JwPlayer,

I have to play a MP3 live streaming generated by Icecast and re-streamed by Wowza in RTMP (to avoid the memory leaks in flash mode). I have this url (in the style of 'old' version 5 that works well):

bc.. file: "http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3",
streamer: "rtmp://5.63.148.44:1935/sc"



For version 6 it would be so:

bc.. rtmp://5.63.148.44:1935/sc/mp3:http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3



But.. this not works!
Where is the error? In the first release of the version 6 it worked well!

Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor English!

Why not just use http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3 as the file?

Hello Ethan,

thank you for your reply!

The only reason is to avoid the memory leaks in flash mode!

How are you able to run a streamer as rtmp but the file is http for html5, that doesn’t make sense?

Yes, it's the 'trick' of Wowza to play an 'http' Icecast (or Shoutcast) stream in flash mode without memory leaks (and avoiding the browser crash).

With JW5 it works well (main html5 mode and fallback in flash without memory leaks):

bc.. modes: [
{ type: "html5",
config: {
file: "http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3",
provider: "sound"
}
},
{ type: "flash",
src: "player/player.swf",
config: {
file: "http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3",
streamer: "rtmp://5.63.148.44:1935/sc",
provider: "rtmp"
}
}
]



With JW6 I tested this way, but there is the problem of rtmp:

bc.. sources: [{
file: "rtmp://5.63.148.44:1935/sc/mp3:http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3"
},{
file: "http://109.123.116.202:8030/stream.mp3"
}]
}



Thank you for your attention!

I guess what I don’t understand is how are you running http relative to the rtmp?
