Unable to Stream Video – Channel Not Found

  • Hi,

    I am attempting to view a video stream from my Red5 server using videowhisper on my WordPress website without success.

    I’ve created a new WordPress page and used the provided short code [videowhisper_watch channel=”stream1″ width=”100%” height=”100%”] to load the player. When I visit the website I receive the following error from the player:

    Entering Video Streaming Interface
    Verifying License: OK
    Logging in: Channel stream1 not found!

    I’ve followed the videowhisper documentation on how to setup and configure my Red5 server. I’ve verified the red5-web.properties file is consistent with the videowhisper documentation.

    When I use the videowhisper test application (https://www.videowhisper.com/demos/admin/vw_connectiontester.html), I am able to connect and view stream1.

    Am I doing something incorrectly on the WordPress side?

    Thanks for your help.

    Channel needs to be setup from solution to be managed by this solution. For plain stream playback you can use a plain player.

    Plugin creates pages (with shortcodes) to manage channels, list channels.
    Solution needs to be deployed per this tutorial including those feature pages:
    https://broadcastlivevideo.com/setup-tutorial/

    Channels can be setup by members with such priviledge from the channnel management page (ex. https://videonow.live/broadcast-live/ ).

    This solution is to setup and manage streaming channels with advanced features like chat, snapshots, tips, listings. If you just want to play streams, you can use a plain RTMP player.

    Thank you for the reply. I was able to setup a channel and view it!

    One issue though, I am unable to view the video on an iOS device. I see the HLS player with the warning about latency, but the video never loads (just spinning circle indicating it is trying to load). There are no issues view the video through Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (using Flash).

    I am using ffmpeg to encode my video to H.264 and publish it from the source (an RTSP compatible IP camera) to a Red5 server (with the VideoWhisper application installed) running on Amazon Web Services.
