I updated your comment and removed the .zip file because it contains private info that you do not want out online.

I would suggest opening a [new ticke](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket)t to get our support folks taking a look at the conf and logs data set.

Hello @Christopher Kang

When you configured the .stream file which Mediacaster Type did you select?

Check this article for further details on setting up mpegts over tcp: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-over-tcp-ip](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-over-tcp-ip)

Regards,

Alex C.

wowza supports mpegts-tcp only in pull mode, not push. Unfortunately it is not spelled out in the doc.
