VideoWhisper Script Installation

Installation (for included and ordered installation) can be provided on request. Installation service refers to deploying existing editions, on compatible hosting, to run similar to live demos.
Additonal installation services can be ordered as necessary to deploy editions, scripts or tweaks based on prior agreement.

Before ordering installation make sure your hosting environment meets the requirements of this software (you need compatible WEB and RTMP hosting and for recording/archiving these need to be on same server).

Extra Script Installation for 30 USD

• Warning for 3rd party hosting: Standard web hosting servers and plans don't include the required specific live streaming server capabilities, server software licensing, tools and configurations or administrators experienced with such features. Make sure servers are setup for the specific live streaming requirements described in detail on our site.
• This service is for installing/upgrading the free editions of the VideoWhisper products or extra copies/products for purchased licenses (in addition to 1 included available for free within the first year).
• Installation request needs to be submitted in a ticket and specify what and where needs to be installed on the compatible host, including all required details.
• Installation service refers to deploying existing editions, on compatible hosting, to run similar to live demos. Does not involve customizations or installation/configuration of other softwre than listed for the edition to be installed. Any custom tweaks / configuration must be previously offered / agreed trough support tickets by VideoWhisper.
  

When using recommended turnkey compatible hosting plans, you just need to specify what you want installed and where, as our staff has all hosting specs.
You will need to point a domain or sudomain to the compatible hosting plan (as described in hosting info) - our staff can provide clarification, assistance with pointing a domain/subdomain.

• What solution/edition do you want installed? Available ones are listed on our websites. You can specify URL to exact item(s) you want.
  In example: BroadcastLiveVideo (turnkey site with WordPress Live Streaming plugin), PaidVideochat (turnkey site with PPV Live Webcams plugin), PHP Live Streaming, PHP Video Consultation.
• If you already have WordPress installed specify admin credentials (and access url if not default).

When using 3rd party hosting (usually a dedicated server due to streaming requirements), compatible hosting details (including streaming services and configuration for features involved) are required for our staff to proceed with installation. For most 3rd party servers you will also need Streaming Server Administration services, as regular providers don't have administrators experienced with setting up and managing streaming servers with their specific software and configuration requirements.

If you have a server that meets all requirements, submit a ticket with these details:

• For latest HTML5 streaming / videochat apps, the Wowza SE streaming server is required for WebRTC relay and HLS, with:
  • a secure websocket address (WSS)
  • name of streaming application configured for WebRTC streaming (publish & playback)
  • RTSP playback/publishing addresses for transcoding/snapshots
  • RTMP address for external broadcasts, transcoding/snapshots
  • HLS address over HTTPS, for playback of HLS formatted streams
    This requires a Wowza SE licensed server, configured with a SSL certificate (StreamLock provided with Wowza license preferred) for WebRTC and HLS.
    Also, the VideoWhisper module for Wowza SE with Session control licensing (configuration will be provided) for streamin server to web server communication (snapshots, live channel listing, processing streams).
    If Wowza SE is licensed, configured with SSL for WebRTC/HLS, session control is licensed, include root ssh credentials for our staff to configured VideoWhisper module and applications for Wowza SE.
    If you don't have compatible streaming hosting, check streaming hosting options, depending on features you need to run.
• Installation path for FFMPEG is required for processing stream (extracting snapshots, stream info) and transcoding. Delivery as HLS/MPEG-DASH requires specific streaming application configured and addresses for streaming and HTTPS delivery. Specific codecs are required for WebRTC, HLS formats used.
• For RTMP (legacy Flash apps), specify RTMP address of a preinstalled videowhisper streaming application, or access details to a supported rtmp server's application files & instructions to restart the rtmp server.
  • Type of supported rtmp server you'll be using and URL to verify it is online and accessible (http://yoursite:5080 for red5 or http://yoursite:1935 for wowza).
  • Server IP, SSH root password, port for linux servers or remote desktop details for Windows servers.
  • Path where rtmp server is installed on your server.
    
  In example, if you have red5 installed on Linux server, Red5 installation path and SSH root access are required to deploy new application and restart red5 server. Same for Wowza, as these applications require new rtmp side libraries to be deployed directly on server.
• FTP/CPanel details to access web location where to install (except for joomla components and wordpress plugins where these can be deployed from administrator area).
• Joomla/Wordpress/Drupal/Oxwall/Elgg/Dolphin/AVS/ClipShare/ClipBucket/Magento admin access details (admin url and credentials) if a edition for one of these is required.
• CPanel details if you have Softaculous/Fantastico and also want Joomla/Wordpress/Drupal installed by our team. If host does not provide automated installation system and install needs to be done manually, an extra installation fee will be required.

Change the password(s) when everything is done and tested, before going from development/testing to production mode.

If you have a dedicated server from a 3rd party provider but don't have an experienced server administrator to manage OS and streaming server (setup streaming server, configure advanced streaming services, upgrade server software, restart and troubleshoot when needed, deploy and configure new rtmp applications) our admins can also provide server management. Purpose of this service is to deploy and administrate the software requirements for streaming on a suitable server.
Streaming Server Administration

In most situations we recommend the turnkey compatible hosting plans for setup speed, performance, reliability and cost effectiveness.

Streaming server installation service is not included in script installation as that's part of software requirements.
Wowza SE / Red5 installation can be ordered for additional fees if you have a VPS or Dedicated Server. For Wowza SE a license key is required.
Warning: Wowza SE is required for latest HTML5 features (WebRTC, HLS, MPEG DASH) and advanced features (playlists, ip cameras, rtsp). Red5 can only be used for RTMP with legacy PC apps (Flash based).
Red5 Installation on VPS or Dedicated Server

Installation is included with Streaming Server Administration service and not required on VideoWhisper hosting plans (already installed, configured, managed). In most situations we recommend the turnkey compatible hosting plans for setup speed, performance, reliability and cost effectiveness.

For an extra fee our server install team can setup latest FFMPEG including codecs: x264, aac, opus, speex required for converting to and from Flash and HTML5 formats (WebRTC, HLS, MPEG-DASH).
