NB: i tested Nginx server to stream with Drone its work perfectly but with latency (<6s) thats why i decide to use WOWZA just for streaming with drone in real time , if you have other solution recommended it . Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Based on your comment, you are running an unauthorized version of Wowza Streaming Engine. Please obtain an authorized license or trial license from Wowza.

I recommend uninstalling and deleting the unauthorized or "cracked" version you are currently running. It is likely causing the unexpected behavior you are experiencing.

Answer 2

Full disclosure, I am the Developer Community Manager at Wowza. This is what we suggest you do when you get that error:

Verify that the Wowza Streaming Engine service has started and is running. Why? By default, Wowza Streaming Engine server software and Streaming Engine Manager install as system services and both should start automatically when you start your computer.

Troubleshooting:

1. Confirm that Wowza Streaming Engine is running:

Open a web browser and enter the URL: http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/ServerVersion ([wowza-ip-address] is the IP address or domain of the Wowza Streaming Engine server.)

If Wowza Streaming Engine installed correctly, the browser displays the Wowza Streaming Engine version number. If not, make sure that the server is running and that TCP port 1935 is open on your router, firewall, and/or software firewall (iptables on Linux).

2. Make sure that you have the appropriate ports open to access the Wowza Streaming Engine and Wowza Streaming Engine Manager services, and that HTTP requests are being routed correctly through these ports. See our website ans search "Streaming Engine ports."

3. If the appropriate ports aren't open, check your server's firewall configuration to make sure it isn't blocking them.

4. After opening ports, you must stop and restart Wowza Streaming Engine and Wowza Streaming Engine Manager. Please review how to start and stop Engine instructions.
