Can Wowza pull hls stream from ffmpeg ?

Wowza Streaming Engine

I am trying to stream HLS output from ffmpeg to wowza. Doing rtmp (2nd approach) works but not HLS.

ffmpeg -re -i http://localhost:1935/vod/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f HLS http://localhost:1935/live/test/playlist.m3u8

instead of

ffmpeg -re -i http://localhost:1935/vod/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/live/test

Hi,

The first one won’t work because HLS ingest is not currently supported. The second one uses RTMP ingest which is supported.
