Good Day Just installed our first WOWZA streaming engine. Is it possible to use the streaming engine to stream native HLS content - we already have a library of HLS content. Each piece of content has its own manifest file. I would prefer the WOWZA server not to have to do the transcoding and just re-mux the native HLS content Is this possible at all? Thanks N ---

I didn’t think Wowza transcoded non-live (e.g. library/recorded) content. We have a ton of MP4s that are streamed and Wowza is just used to serve these, i.e. not transcoded or processed apart from HLS encoding. I think Wowza will only transcode for live streams, e.g. RTMP or similar live stream inputs ---

If you video assets is already in HLS format, why not use NGINX if you only need to ‘stream’ those HLS files that you have ? Please tell us more why you would want to ‘…re-mux the native HLS content…’ so we can help you more 😛
