Hi I’m trying to create a live source with VLC but Wowza doesn’t seems to have a valid Live input for VLC so I went to Stream Files and created one using UDP settings, so now the problem is that when I choose Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4) over UDP, it simply doesn’t works.

I’ve tried different settings and in some cases I got audio or video but I never got video + audio.
