On the Mac, both Chrome and Safari took quite a bit of time (almost ten seconds) to bring up the dashboard after the log-in screen, but using Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1 was much faster. Wowza recommends the Chrome browser, for a few reasons, but we ran tests in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1 and Safari on OS X Mavericks, as well. Wowza says it supports all modern browsers, meaning the Manager can operate in Chrome, Firefox, the latest version of Internet Explorer, and Safari. Launch the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager.url, and your browser of choice will pop up with a welcome screen, as we’ve noted above. Only one of the two files clearly looks like an application icon, which means that first-time users intuitively know what to click. In the Wowza Streaming Engine 4.0 folder, users are presented with the only two choices that matter: a Read Me file and the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager application, plus a few folder aliases. In previous versions, you were presented with options like JConsole Startup, Wowza Shutdown, Wowza Startup, QUICKSTART.HTML, Read Me, and two legal documents. This folder contains fewer files than the one noted above for older versions of Wowza Media Server. What you see - or don’t see, as the case may be - may surprise you. Find the folder labeled Wowza Streaming Engine 4.0.0 and double-click on it.
What if you chose not to have Wowza Streaming Engine Manager startup after completing Wowza Config? If so, go to the Applications folder (on a Mac, or Program Files on a Windows machine). We’ll cover that more in a moment, but first let’s step back a bit. All you do is scroll to the lower part of the Manager dashboard and choose Test Players from the Test Video section. But, before you could launch the server, you needed to use the WowzaMediaServer alias, which then linked to the actual server’s folders, and add in a number of hand-coded lines of code to launch services. To do this, you had dig down to the Application folder and find the Wowza Startup link. In the old days, as in last week, the first thing you’d need to do before you launched a test was launch Wowza Media Server. A separate graph shows the number of simultaneous connections on a rolling time window.ĩ:06 AM: Time for our first test.
The third section is a Status section, which provides status information regarding AddOns, CPU, memory, Wowza’s Java heap size, as well as total memory and disk capabilities on the server itself.
