_definst_ at the end of app name

[MakarovYaroslav]

Is it possible to add some configuration parameter to ignore '_definst_' at the end of app?

I`d like to have possibility to watch stream via two URL (with '_definst_' and without) after setting this parameter to True.

nginx-rtmp added support for _definst_:

To support AMS/FMS?

@winlinvip To support Wowza Media Server(Wowza Streaming Engine).
We wish to replace wowza with srs. Wowza has logic with default instance (_definst_) and it leads to mismatch.

I don't understand WOWZA how to use _definst_ and how to support this feature. BTW, the nginx url is unavailable in China motherland.

Hello. Sorry, I didn`t know that you have no access to nginx url.

We are now using Wowza Media Server and it has the following logic for _definst_:
if no instance is specified in the 'application/instance/stream' format path, Wowza Media Server will add
default instance = _definst_.
After that, you can watch the published stream via two links, for example,
by links rtmp://testhost:8888/app/stream1 and rtmp://testhost:8888/app/_definst_/stream1

We would like to replace Wowza Media Server with SRS, but SRS does not support this logic of working with _definst_.

nginx-rtmp added _definst_ support (text from nginx url):

Support for definst in nginx-rtmp-module
With current master it's a little easier to stream from Wowza/FMS. Now nginx-rtmp handles _definst_ in application names. The following lines are equivalent
ffplay rtmp://localhost/myapp/_definst_/mystream
ffplay rtmp://localhost/myapp/mystream
Thanks Sebastien Estienne for the patch.

Could you add _definst_ support to SRS too?

[winlinvip]

OK, you can use _definst_ as app of SRS, like url rtmp://testhost:8888/_definst_/stream1, does it work?

[MakarovYaroslav]

No, we would like to publish stream with specified app (not only _definst_).
For example:
We publish the stream to the URL rtmp://testhost:8888/app1/stream1 and we can watch the published stream by both links: rtmp://testhost:8888/app1/stream1 and rtmp://testhost:8888/app1/_definst_/stream1
Another case:
We publish the stream to the url rtmp://testhost:8888/app1/_definst_/stream1 and can watch by both links: rtmp://testhost:8888/app1/_definst_/stream1 and rtmp://testhost:8888/app1/stream1
