Is it possible to create a custom LiveStreamPacketizer? I know there are ways to interact with existing packetizers, but they are not giving me the level of control I’d like…
I know you can turn the built-in packetizers on and off using / but what is that list validated against?
Can I provide new packetizers in the same fashion as I add Modules in the Application.xml or elsewhere?

Hello,
You can control the LiveStreamPacketizer properties directly from the LiveStreamPacketizers.xml file, which is packaged within the [wowza-install-dir]/lib/wms-server.jar file. The complete path is the following one: **[wowza-install-dir]\lib\wms-server.jar\com\wowza\wms\conf\LiveStreamPacketizers.xml**
You will need to extract **LiveStreamPacketizers.xml** and place it in the [wowza-install-dir]/conf/ folder. Don’t forget to restart your Wowza server so that the new configuration settings are taken into account
