Take a look at this FFmpeg guide: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts) Richard ---

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 Richard ---

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: ```auto -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:10000?pkt_size=1316 ``` To: ```auto -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: ```auto 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 ``` Jason ---
