Hi, I want to do the same thing as the Big Buck Bunny demo on this page:

> **[RTSP Stream Test](https://www.wowza.com/developer/rtsp-stream-test)**
>
> Use this free RTSP test stream URL to validate your connections so you can start streaming with confidence.

I.e. convert an mp4 video file to an RTSP stream that plays continuously.

I signed up for the Wowza free trial and tried to do this, but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an option to output an RTSP stream, just an HLS stream.

Any help appreciated.

Found the RTSP stream URL in the Transcoder -\> Direct Playback URLs section. I’m sure that only showed HLS before, but maybe upgrading to a paid account from a trial helped.

Correct, the trial is HLS playback only. So glad you got it worked out for the RTSP stream.
