Introduction:
When streaming to Kaltura using a Wowza ClearCaster, the RTMP URL has to be reformatted to meet Kaltura's URI format. By default, in the standard format, the Wowza ClearCaster will strip everything after the "?". In order to for the Wowza ClearCaster to successfully parse the URI, we will need to configure the connection details within a JSON format like below.
How to format the connection information
- Example Kaltura entry point:
Server URL:
rtmp://1_7ny1tsk7.p.kpublish.kaltura.com:1935/kLive?t=27e57134
Stream Key:
1_7nXXXsk7_1
1_7nXXXsk7_1
- Use this JSON format when adding a new broadcast in ClearCaster Universal Manager:
Server URL:
{"url":"rtmp://1_7ny1tsk7.p.kpublish.kaltura.com:1935/kLive?t=27e57134","destinationApplication":"kLive?t=27e57134","destinationQuery":null}
Stream Key:
1_7nXXXsk7_1 (stays the same)
{"url":"rtmp://1_7ny1tsk7.p.kpublish.kaltura.com:1935/kLive?t=27e57134","destinationApplication":"kLive?t=27e57134","destinationQuery":null}
Stream Key:
1_7nXXXsk7_1 (stays the same)
