Wowza GoCoder (mobile encoder)

Twilio SMS service

Azure deployment

Send SMS messages (via Twilio) to mobile phones with links to install Wowza GoCoder and configure a GoCoder session: connect to Wowza Server with session settings defined in the app by the operator. The end-user of this application is the operator, the message is sent to their customer. The customer installs GoCoder if not installed, then configures and starts a session. The operator views the live stream until the customer stops it on the encoder side, or they force stop it by a button click on the player page. Wowza records the session and does a GET back to the app to add a row for the recording. Deleting that row sends a GET back to Wowza to delete the recording, handled by an HTTPProvider. Recordings can be played in the application. Recordings are moved to Azure storage.

ChurchServices.tv

PHP, MySQL, Java, Amazon Web Services (EC2 and S3), Wowza Streaming Engine

Churchservices.tv is an Irish company that live-streams and records services and events for about 100 Irish churches. During peak usage many of recordings were corrupt, and others were not automatically moved to S3 storage for on-demand playback. I fixed these problems by revamping their system, simplifying to enable easy scaling and flexibility by centralizing their scheduling and monitoring, integrating recording uploads into Wowza an application module, automating EC2 startup. This eliminated fragile and redundant (on each origin) systems, making the system robust, easy to scale and deploy on any EC2 instance type.
