I have an embedded device running with Linux.

I want to stream my camera content to Wowza cloud and at the same time, I want to display content to local display.

I am using gstremer to achieve the same. I am able to stream this using RTMP, however, as RTMP is working on TCP, it’s too heavy for network. I am looking for a way to stream using some UDP protocol.

Is there a way to stream using UDP? (I know there is an RTMFP version which basically uses UDP, however, I don’t see the support of the same on Wowza)
