hi guys, I am running wowza 4.0 and one of our partner exposes live streams using http protocol for mpeg-ts and hls format. [http://bgsf.redist.iptvdc.com/islambox/c5fefcbac69f553c2fd9af2466fa7480](http://bgsf.redist.iptvdc.com/islambox/c5fefcbac69f553c2fd9af2466fa7480) [http://bgsf.hls.iptvdc.com/islambox/732/play.m3u8](http://bgsf.hls.iptvdc.com/islambox/732/play.m3u8) How can i mount above streams to wowza so i can serve them on different platforms used by our customers (android, ios, web:rtmp) if i need to transcode them using wowza encoder addon that is available free with wowza 4 then let me know and give me some points how to configure it. -Khurram ---

Hello, HLS is not a [supported input format](https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine/specifications) but mpeg-ts is. You can make use of a [stream file](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-and-use-stream-files-in-wowza-streaming-engine-manager) to pull an mpeg-ts stream into Wowza Streaming Engine and stream to the different platforms mentioned. I suggest that you configure the transcoder in order to do Adaptive Bitrate streaming. This will provide lower resolution/bitrate streams for mobile devices and players with low bandwidth connections. You may find the following articles helpful in setting up this process: [How to play your first live stream](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-play-your-first-live-stream-video-tutorial%28video-tutorial%29) [How to do adaptive bitrate streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-adaptive-bitrate-streaming) Best regards, Andrew ---

Hi, One technique would be to use FFMPEG to restream into Wowza Streaming Engine. See [this guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29) more more information on possible commands. There’s also a third party module that could do it [available here.](http://thewowza.guru/mpegts-over-http-inbound-module/) Daren ---

Hi, Wowza Streaming Engine can’t ingest video streams using HTTP protocol. For [MPEG-TS](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder%28MPEG-TS-based-encoder%29) you’ll need to use UDP in the .stream file. Regards, Jason ---

sorry for late reply problem is stream provider is publishing mpeg-ts stream over http protocol and they will not change it to UDP. any workaround ?
