Our examples are using a pre-built version of FFmpeg for Windows, linked to on that page. It is version N-52458-gaa96439. Try to match that version

Hi,

You can change the protocol of the stream to Wowza using FFMPEG if needed.

Sending the stream to Wowza using RTMP would be simpler and the tutorial does have a section on how to do this.

FFmpeg can publish streams using other outgoing protocols such as RTMP and RTSP/RTP (QuickTime ANNOUNCE).

To send a stream using RTMP, change the destination portion of the FFmpeg URL:

From:

-f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:10000?pkt_size=1316

To:

-f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/myStream

After applying this to FFMPEG the publishing stream will be going to application “live” with stream name myStream

Playback form Wowza would also be:

RTMP - rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream
RTSP - rtsp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream
Apple HLS - http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream]/playlist.m3u8
Flash HDS - http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream/manifest.f4m
Silverlight - http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream/Manifest
