Dear all,

Is there any way to stream from wowza to windows media server?

As far as I understand mms is not suported, rtsp is not compatible, http only smooth, is this correct? Is there any workaround?

I’m only interested to stream audio (radios)

Regards,

NN

Windows Media Server is not supported, but not sure why rtsp output from Wowza wouldn’t work if WMS can consume rtsp streams.

You could try VLC. Turn this example around, make Wowza stream the source:

I’m out of options here.

I need to use Windows Media Server as a edge streaming server but I found out that only Windows Media Encoder 9 can be used as an input stream (origin).

Wowza and VLC don’t work (VLC we try both http and rtsp)

Does anyone know how to stream to WMS besides using WME?
