I haven’t used Wowza in a year or so, and last time I checked Wowza could only accept RTMP and UDP live streams. Is this still the case? I’m wondering if it can accept an HLS stream as a live stream source.

Hi there.

Yes, that is still the case. Wowza only supports HTTP ingress of ShoutCast streams.
