I am developing a simple live streaming mobile application. In which I am recording the video from mobile cam (IOS and Android Native apps) and streaming it to a media server(Wowza) that broadcasting the live stream on real time. I want to use H.264 video codec and AAC audio codecs.
How should I take care of Encoding from Point of origin of Live-stream to media server. Any suggestions or Inputs can be of great help

Hi,
I guess you just need to look at writing an RTSP (or RTMP) server in your app. There seem to be a number of example Android RTSP servers with source code [out there](https://github.com/fyhertz/libstreaming). iOS RTSP/RTMP servers appear to be quite thin on the ground…
An interesting method in the iOS space appears to be to [compile ffmpeg for iOS](http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/) and use the ffmpeg tools to send the stream to the streaming server, which is an interesting approach. A quick (but not free) way is to pay for the [SDK and source](http://www.videostreamsdk.com/)to incorporate into your app.
