I have to ingest an incoming rtmp stream and convert it into hls and then republish it to akamai . I have gone through below tutorial

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-to-akamai#createliveWSE](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-to-akamai#createliveWSE)

But when I am adding my source (live), my encoder isn’t listed. How to add source in this case?

Hello @cc cd

Please follow this guide by clicking [here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-connect-a-publisher-to-wowza-streaming-engine) under “Connect to a Source” to setup an encoder that is not on the pre-set source list.

Regards,

Jason

Attached a screenshot of what I can see on Add sources screen, there is not option to add IP address.
