Hello

I have “H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)” video in mpeg-ts container called 2.mpg

I’d like to play it on the test page ([install-dir]/examples/SimpleVideoStreaming/client/simplevideostreaming.html) like mp4 file from the tutorial here: [https://www.wowza.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=50](https://www.wowza.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=50)

if to insert data like this:

_Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]/vod_

_Stream: mp4:2.mpg_

It’s not working.

What should I do in order playback my 2.mpg file in vod?

WBR Andrey

Andrey,

Take a look at the specs page:

[http://wowza.com/specs.html](http://wowza.com/specs.html)

.mpg is not supported for vod. Transcode to a quicktime container (.mp4, .m4v, .mov)

That statement is regarding Flash HTTP (sanjose) streaming. It is also true for all other client types (Smooth, iOS, RTSP) except Flash RTMP clients. You can playback .flv files in a Flash RTMP client. You can use the Wowza example or JW Player or Flowplayer, or other Flash RTMP player, to playback .flv files

Ok, I’m confused, according to that page, Wowza 3.5 supports FLV files (first line under Supported File Formats), but according to the Users’s Guide, it doesn’t, “(FLV files are not supported at this time)”.

Can someone please clarify?

Thank you.
