Hey hon - just call in and talk to the guys in support. They can explain how implementation would work on your specific setup and answer your technical questions easily My part is simple, I just add to the bill.

My problem was securing the streaming behind a members area, my hosting provider couldnt help me and the guys at Wowza wouldnt help me. It required custom programming that was beyond my desire to do.

If this has changed or if Mojo can set it up for me I might consider it.

If anyone can do it, let me know I dont necessarily have to have Wowza either, Id be fine with Red5

Im doing http streaming until this issue can be resolved.

One thing I have looked at is a program called visichat they will install their chat software along with Red5 in a secure environment for 250 bucks. even if you dont use the video chat software getting a secured Red5 install for 250.00 (Red 5 is free to use) seems like a bargain.

Anyone else?

If you want to send me an email I'll setup a phone call with our support team. There are pros and cons to all of the options out there but basically it sounds either like you had the wrong host or perhaps wrong expectations. There is no administration panel for Wowza nor the necessity for one I don't think. It sounds like what you are trying to achieve requires integrating a few different products if you want authenticated live streaming and a chat application to coincide with it. Feel free to reach out to me anytime by phone or email and I'll help to get you the information you need with regard to a complete solution and also the differences between Red5 and Wowza.

Cheers,

Brad
