Any success with Flazr streaming?

[civicplaza]

I have been playing with Flazr (flazr.com), trying to us it to stream a file to LiveStream. So far, I have not had the stream show up in my channel studio, but it does seem to stream from my computer to somewhere. I get an outgoing data rate of around 400KB and what I think is success from Flazr. Has anyone one had any success with LiveStream?

Here is what I used to at least get data flowing:
C:\flazr>client -version 00000000 -live -host publish.livestream.com -D username=myUser -D password=myPassword -D isAutoStart=true -app mogulus/myChannel x C:\Videos\FLV\t.flv


Here is the output during streaming:

Thanks and good luck.

This is very interesting. Do you get success when you stream your file to an RTMP server on your local machine (like red5 for example) using the flazr client?

[civicplaza]

I have a Wowza 2.2.3 development server to test locally. The following Flazr client command works with Wowza to send a file to the server.

client -version 00000000 -live -host 97.xxx.xxx.xxx -app live test t.flv
My router sends port 1935 to my server on the local intranet in my home.

I can play the file on a wireless Android tablet. It works without any flaws.

Oh, I'm using Wowza on Windows Vista 64-bit SP2 on a Dell using Intel dual core T8100 2.1GHz processor with 4GB RAM if that makes any difference.

I played around with your settings and I was able to get a set of parameters that got the stream to show up in Livestream Studio, and I was able to cue it:

Try this:
C:\flazr>client -version 00000000 -live -host publish.livestream.com -app mogulus/MYCHANNEL/username=MYUSERNAME/password=MYPASSWORD/isAutoLive=true/aspectWidth=WIDTH/aspectHeight=HEIGHT/bufferTime=1/autoRecord=false/autoVOD=false/autoPilot=false x C:\Videos\FLV\t.flv
