Install a streaming server or use a service that can offer this

Hello Stream Recorder, thanks for your reply. I already have a streaming server running on wowza. I use wowza's swf player to view the stream on my website, but I actually want to use a player like the JW player which I know is one of the players that can be used. The trouble I have is how to deploy the player to use for a LIVE stream. I can use the player for video archive and even with playlist, but I am yet to succeed at using it for LIVE stream. Can you help me there?

Oh... you have a streaming server from the company that didn't want to be affiliated with us

Let it be their problem

You can find lots of information about both JW Player and Wowza Media server on their web-sites. Here are a couple of links that should help:
JW Player: RTMP streaming
Wowza Media Server: How to publish and play a live stream (RTMP or RSTP/RTP based encoder)

You shouldn't have problems finding more about this now that you know what streaming media server and what streaming player you would like to use.

p.s.
If you can't set up live RTMP streaming with Wowza and JW Player, you can always outsource your project via a freelance marketplace.
