I have a .ts video which I can send and receive over HTTP with several servers but I am having some trouble with Wowza and the RTSP protocol. I am a bit confuse about the difference between the RTSP protocol and MPEG-TS because reading throught forums it seems like if MPEG-TS is a different protocol. I would like to know if it is possible to send this kind of videos over RTSP.

I am using the VLC Player in order to trying to play the video.

Here there is a link to the video: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9055146/coldplayts.ts](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9055146/coldplayts.ts)

Kind Regards,

Patricia.

Hi Patricia,

Welcome. Wowza does not support video on demand playback of .ts files. You have to transcode to mp4 container.
