How do I get the stream's name in a class derived from ModuleBase in Wowza

Question

public class WowzaTest extends ModuleBase {
    public void onConnect(IClient client, RequestFunction function, AMFDataList params) {
        // how do i get stream name in this method or this class
    }
}

The player is wowza's test player. Rtmp request is rtmp://myip:1935/play/myStream.

Answer 1

You cannot get stream name in onConnect because RTMP streaming is actually splitted into 2 parts:

1. connect to RTMP url (onConnect will happen here), where RTMP url is
   rtmp://ip/app[/appinst]
2. send play command to play some stream

(in your case appinst is not present in your URL, so _definst_ will be used instead automatically)

you may want to handle play command:
