Wowza media server and live streaming

I am using wirecast on my local pc to stream content to my wowza media server. I know how to setup my wowza server to play video on demand on Roku but I need help with setting up the wowza media server to stream live content to the Roku player. I need step by step instructions. I would like to use the Roku custom video player

Re: Wowza media server and live streaming

Check out the encoding guide in the SDK. It has a section on setting up Wowza.

Re: Wowza media server and live streaming

I am using wirecast which is encoding the video for me. I can get the file to play but I only hear audio the video will not display. Also using wirecast I do not see all of the option for encoding the video. I only see a few of the options. Also my output is coming out as http://199.48.177.138:1935/live/myStream.sdp.m3u8
