Wowza Media Server on a Raspberry Pi

Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:41 am

Hello,

Ive gotten Wowza to run on a Raspberry Pi Model B.
For those not familiar with Wowza, it is an excellent video and audio streaming server used by CDNs and small broadcasters alike.

Even with a heap size set to 256M RTMP playback is pretty smooth, from another PC on my LAN.

Im using the following Raspbian Image:
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images ... -armel.zip

and the following Oracle JDK.

Have a great day!

Hi,

Ive installed wowza 3.5.2 two separate ways:

Originally I used the soft-float point version of raspbian:
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images ... -armel.zip

in combination with the following instructions for installing the soft-float version of hte Oracle 7 JDK as outline here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/artic ... 04896.html

Oracle is offering a preview release of Java 8 for hard float for arm located here:
http://jdk8.java.net/fxarmpreview/

This version of the JDK works with the stock image of Raspbian, no need for the armel version.

In theory the hard-float image should provide better performance for Wowza.

Hi,

have you tried to stream something? Or just installed it?

Hello Kaan,

I can successfully stream the sample.mp4 video included in the package. I can also stream a live feed to it using FMLE (from a separate PC) as an encoder.
