Hi there, I have followed the instructions from [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder) with my stream file pointing to udp://0.0.0.0:10000 and my FFMPEG commands are as follow: ffmpeg -re -f lavfi -i testsrc=size=1280x720:rate=30 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1M -preset ultrafast -b:a 128k -c:a libfdk\_aac -s 1280x720 -g 30 -pix\_fmt yuv420p -bsf:v h264\_mp4toannexb -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:10000 I have verified the UDP stream output from FFMPEG using mpv udp://127.0.0.1:10000 we know that FFMPEG is indeed outputting the stream. However, I have 2 issues: First being even though I can see the ‘live’ Application I have setup to load the stream file, and saw an incoming stream with udp://0.0.0.0:10000, and further confirmed the traffic Network has 1Mbps “Bits In”, I do not see any “Bits Out”, and I cannot see any streams output, say curl -i [http://127.0.0.1:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8](http://127.0.0.1:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8) returns HTTP 404 not found. Second being I cannot apply a stream file to a custom Application, after I connect the stream file to the custom Application, it said Connect Successful, but I do not see an incoming stream. Maybe the UDP issue aforementioned hindered the addition of stream file perhaps? Thank you! ---

Have you tested with other protocols - rtmp/rtsp outputs for publishing to wowza with your ffmpeg command. ---

Yes, I have tested with RTMP, and it worked fine with the ffmpeg command with the same setup publishing to wowza. But our target is to use UDP/MPEGTS. ---

There seems to be a [similar post](http://community.wowza.com/t/udp-streaming-to-wowza-with-ffmpeg/39419) in the forum on same topic. Try to see if using your ffmpeg command that way helps. ---

Hi @Connessione, thank you for answering. Unfortunately that post doesn’t seem to reconcile my situation. I have tried different combinations of framerates & bitrates & resolutions, including his config, all have failed to establish an output stream. **comment** server (200) HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.onPlaylist: Stream not found [udp/myStream/playlist.m3u8]: myStream **x-vhost:** _defaultVHost_, **x-app:** udp, **x-appinst:** _definst_, **x-duration:** 1838.21 logs stated the stream cannot be found, when we attempted to request a stream (HLS/DASH). logs are in following sequence: **connect** cupertino (200) **create** stream (200) **comment** server (200) : Stream not found **destroy** stream (200) **disconnect** cupertino (200) However we do see the server continues to add chunks & segments despite of no output stream exists. **comment** server (200) LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.endChunkTS[udp/_definst_/mpegts.stream]: Add chunk: id:11 mode:TS[H264,AAC] a/v/k:432/250/10 duration:10000 **x-duration:** 1829740.355 It seems to me that Wowza Streaming Engine doesn’t know how to create a manifest (HLS/DASH) despite having the MPEG-TS segments received. Are there any custom settings inside Application/Server we need to enable perhaps? Thank you in advanced. ---

Hey man I hope you found a lead on your issue. I haven’t had time to go deeper into your issue so far personally.
