Couldn't Get Live Streaming Working

  • July 20, 2015
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I painstakingly followed through all the online documentation from AWS and AMS for on line streaming and when I tested with preview video it failed.

I posted on the online help forum and asked for help but received no reply.

It is a real pity because this product was just what I wanted for online streaming. I did get on-demand streaming working though.

Terrible Implementation Experience

I wish I had read the negative reviews on here. I wasted a couple days, following all the instructions online, trying to get this AMI up and still cannot login to AMS Admin. AMS 5 might be a good product, but I couldn't access admin to really tell.

terrible software

We compared Wowza and AMS 5. Neither was good, but AMS 5 was abominably bad. Setup is extremely annoying, and their management app is written in Flash instead of HTML5 + JavaScript. Absolutely hostile. Would NOT recommend.

If you want an easy solution your best bet is https://www.cine.io/

Not enough information to set up properly.

Needs better instructions.

Here are the issues I encountered and how I fixed them:

1) typo in /etc/fstab. This causes the secondary EBS volume to stay unmounted. Had to move everything out of "/mnt", fix the fstab entry, mount the EBS volume, expand its ext4 filesystem to fill the partition, and then copy everything you moved out of the /mnt folder back into the /mnt folder, which is now on the mounted EBS volume. This typo also causes the machine to fail to reboot, so this needs to be the first step: fix the fstab issue before you try to reboot.

2) For some reason, if you launch the instance using an existing SSH key, you will never be able to log into it. For this reason, you need to create a new SSH key every time you launch one of these images, then make the appropriate modifications to the /home/amsadmin/.ssh/authorized_keys file manually. While the instructions tell you to use putty before using winscp, you can also use openssh as well. ssh into the instance using the newly created/downloaded ssh key, logging in as the user "amsadmin". On login, it will ask you to set your password.

3) As mentioned in #1, the secondary disk volume needs to have its file system expanded using resize2fs before doing any serious streaming or you'll overrun available space within minutes. This is tricky because it works long enough for you to think all is well, until the stream dies.

After repairing all that and creating my own AMI out of the image, all is well.

Hope that helps.

This is very frustrating ...

I have the exact same problem. I can not log in to server through ssh.
The product is useless without shell access.
