overview
This is a Wowza Media Server module. The StreamTimeShifter module is made to create time shifted streams, based upon existing streams on the StorageDirectory of the given Wowza Media Server. It allows you to schedule stream transmission based on parametric timeshift in minutes on the Server.xml file. Also it this module provides a recording module, that enhances the time shifted transmission, and has more parameters than the live-record module. You can configure the shifted streams along the site through a single Application, and you can configure which streams will be recorded along Applications on the Wowza Media Server.
installing the module
The module must be installed on the library directory. For example if the Wowza Media Server is installed on the /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer directory, the JAR file must be installed on the /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/lib directory.
gunzip WowzaTimeShifter.jar.gz cp WowzaTimeShifter.jar /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/lib
time shifter configuration
You must add the server listener, on the ServerListeners on the Server.xml section as follows:
<ServerListeners>
<ServerListener>
<BaseClass>cl.coder.wowza.scheduler.StreamTimeShifter</BaseClass>
</ServerListener>
</ServerListeners>
Then you must configure the Scheduler using the Properties section:
<Properties>
<Property>
<Name>PublishToVHost</Name>
<Value>_defaultVHost_</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>PublishToApplication</Name>
<Value>MTV</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>StreamsToAdd</Name>
<Value>ROCK,CLASSIC_ROCK,GRUNGE</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>MinutesToShift</Name>
<Value>30</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>
The parameters are as follows:
- PublishToVHost
- WowzaMediaServer VHost where is published the Schduled Stream
- PublishToApplication
- WowzaMediaServer Application where is published the Schduled Stream
- StreamsToAdd
- WowzaMediaServer Stream Names patterns to add. Are separated by , chars.
- MinutesToShift
- Minutes to shift the Stream.
recording module configuration
The recording module is configured per Application that runs on the Wowza Media Server. On the <Modules/> section for each Application.xml file you must add the ShifterStreamRecorder module as follows:
<Module>
<Name>ShifterStreamRecorder</Name>
<Description>ShifterStreamRecorder</Description>
<Class>cl.coder.wowza.recorder.ShifterStreamRecorder</Class>
</Module>
Once the module is added, you must add the proper properties to the <Properties> section as follows:
<Property>
<Name>MediaFormat</Name>
<Value>1</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>RecordStreams</Name>
<Value>ROCK,CLASSIC_ROCK,GRUNGE</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>OnUnPublishCommand</Name>
<Value>/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/event_publish.sh</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>OnPublishCommand</Name>
<Value>/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/event_unpublish.sh</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>MaxRecordTime</Name>
<Value>60</Value>
</Property>
The parameters are as follows:
- MediaFormat
- 1 to record flv files and 2 to record mp4 files.
- RecordStreams
- Streams to record, separated by the “,” character.
- OnUnPublishCommand
- Command executed once one of the listed streams are unpublished.
- OnPublishCommand
- Command executed once one of the listed streams are published.
- MaxRecordTime
- Stream Record duration in minutes, once this time is elapsed, a new file is recorded.
