Wowza s3 upload plugin not uploading to S3

Question

Wowza S3 Upload Plugin

I have followed all the steps written in https://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?813-How-to-upload-recorded-media-to-an-Amazon-S3-bucket-%28ModuleS3Upload%29#requirements guide but no .upload files are being created and hence no files have been uploaded to S3.

I have manually tried to upload to S3 successfully.

Below are my settings for module section

and these are my custom properties

Both the above configuration changes are on this page

http://localhost:8088/enginemanager/Home.htm#application/defaultVHost/live/live/main

I am using Wowza Streaming Engine 4.4.1 and AWS JAVA SDK 1.11.5

What is that I am missing?

Thanks

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Make sure the IAM user credentials you create have access to write to the s3 bucket.

When you initially create that IAM user, there is not permissions set.

Answer 2

Make sure you have copied the 3 *.jars you need into the [install-dir]/lib directory.

1. wse-plugin-s3upload.zip (unzip and copy the *.jar)

2. AWS Java SDK For Amazon S3

3. AWS SDK For Java Core

Be sure to restart the server.

Answer 3

I never used "Wowza S3 Upload Plugin", but you might be able to accomplish the same (and maybe in an easier way) by mounting your bucket into a s3fs filesystem then make uploads by copying files to that path.

Here's the details:
