native/legacy multicast UDP as MediaCaster Type

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

I want Wowza server [i’m using latest 3.5.2 release] to allow me to output live stream of type “native/legacy multicast UDP as MediaCaster Type”. currently i only see in stream-manager the following options:

rtp

rtp-record

shoutcast

shoutcast-record

liverepeater

i don’t want rtp protocol to wrap UDP packets, just pure UDP. example [udp://@239.2.5.4:50155]. muticast UDP protocol is the only supported streaming protocol in the backend application we use, so please tell me how to make wowza output that?

note: my input stream is also UDP [ i used this link to configure it https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder ] but no udp output was described [only rtp, rtps, rtmp, HLS…etc]!

thanks,

You can use the PushPublish addon to do multicast udp:

thanks, but since the approve of the post took over 3 hours, I found [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-multicastpublish-addon-multicast-and-unicast-streams-to-udp-and-rtsp but it didn’t work so far, i’m not sure which AddOn is better for my requirements [PushPublish addon] or [MulticastPublish-AddOn]?

i’ll do more tests and reading before reporting current errors i’m getting.

thanks again,
