Both publish video from desktop to Wowza Stream Engine and play on deskp using FFMPEG

Wowza Streaming Engine

I am new to Wowza Engine, and I am trying to build an app which can both publish/play live video to/from Wowza Engine, but firstly I want to figure out how to use FFMPEG to publish and play video, I tried ffmpeg -re -i {Some Directory}\xxx.flv -f flv udp://xx.xx.xx/live/test.stream, it worked fine on ffmpeg console but didn’t seem to work on Wowza side since TestPlayer of the application said “Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied.”

Plus, I also would like to figure out how to play video published to Wowza using ffmpeg.

Thanks in advance!
