I’m trying to figure out how to achieve the following in Wowza 4.01: I have several mp4 files \* I want to pseudo-live stream in an endless loop (until manually stopped) There will be about 6-12 hours of video material that will simply be live streamed (on a different/non Wowza server – this is important as I will not have access to any live streams for DVR style recordings, only the files as stated below) during the event, and will be re-encoded to HQ mp4 files from the original camera recordings after the event is finished. Now I would like to setup a channel/application that will “forever” (until stopped) keep streaming the file(s) (\*) in a loop to any client that connects, so at the end of the file(s) it should automatically start over again from the beginning without disconnecting any clients – a short pause is ok, as long as the client doesn’t need to reconnect or restart playback. output should be viewable by browsers, mobile clients, and bonus points when it also works on set-top boxes 😉 I’ve used other streaming platforms before but I am new to Wowza, so any help on how to get this setup/working will be greatly appreciated! - in case several input files are a problem, these can also be encoded into a single file, so that there will only be a single input file thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.wowza.com/t/pseudo-live-streaming-from-files-in-endless-loop/42255)._
