Is it possible to make nDVR playback using rtsp protocol.

The documentation explain that you can do playback of nDVR-recorded streams with these protocols :

Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (Adobe HDS/San Jose)

Apple HTTP Live Streaming (Apple HLS/Cupertino)

Microsoft Smooth Streaming (Smooth)

Wowza can stream Live in rtsp, but why can’t it do the same with nDvr recorded streams ?

Thanks,

Nicolas Castillejos

Hello,

I’m sorry, but for live videos, we only support the nDVR’s pause & seek features with players which use HTTP segmented streams.

I will pass your suggestion to our product management to take your request into consideration for a future Wowza release.

Regards
