Stream Sources

Operations related to stream sources. You can create a Wowza stream source and associate it to a live stream or transcoder.

Wowza Stream Sources

When you set up a Wowza stream source with a live stream or transcoder, Wowza Video can automatically detect broadcast location, automatically start a stream when the video source starts, and automatically stop a stream after the video source disconnects.

Fetch all stream sources

This operation shows limited details for all of your stream sources. For detailed information, fetch a single stream source of the appropriate type.
