Hi,

I have a problem with my setup, can’t find where the mistake is.

My goal is to publish a MPEG-TS source channel to ABR format for HLS enabled devices.

I’m running the latest trial version of WSE, My setup consists of Anevia Flamingo DVB/IP Gateway, providing multicast Streams (TV Channels) over UDP,

1- The source MPEG-TS carries MPEG2 Video and MPEG2 Audio.in the address form of : udp://239.4.112.x:5500,

2- on the wowza server the stream is reachable and i can view it on VLC.

3- I have followed the guide : [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder#config\_admin](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder#config_admin) ,

4- i have gone after step by step, then trying the " Test Players", no output and the message says : Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied .

5- Went to the Incoming Streams where i can find the option to record the stream, then inspecting the recorded file i could find that only audio is there, no video is recorded !

I’m not able to figure out where the problem is, since it seems that the server is able to catch the stream audio, but not video !

Your advise and support would be highly appreciated.

BR,

Mootaz

Hi Mootaz,

Wowza does not support MPEG2 video. It has to be h.264. You can use the [Wowza Transcoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-transcoder-for-live-streaming) to transcode MPEG2 to h.264
