I’ve seen posts related to transcoding to H.265, but we do not want to transcode to H.265. We have an H.265 live streaming source that we would like to ingest and keep in H.265. Can Wowza streaming engine or Wowza cloud support ingestion of an H.265 live source? What ingestion methods can be used with an H.265 source: RTSP? HLS? Do I need to do anything differently for setup than I would do for an H.264 source?

Thanks in advance!

You will need to deliver your HEVC/H.265 stream via MPEGTS into Wowza Streaming Engine. From there you can have Transcoder convert it to H.264 for delivery to your clients that support only H.264. HEVC players can be configured per the following article.

I hope that helps to answer your question.

How do you setup wowza to receive a MPEGTS stream into Wowza Streaming Engine?

We have an article on how to do this.

Kevin just as an update I did get it to finally work on my AWS server. My issue was I had to open up some UDP ports.

Unfortunately the UDP protocol over the Internet is not reliable enough.
