Is it a FMS server? If so, take a look at this guide: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-an-unprotected-stream-from-adobe-media-server-or-a-cdn](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-an-unprotected-stream-from-adobe-media-server-or-a-cdn) The same will work if it is a Wowza server/application with StreamType “live”. If the source is a Wowza server that can be configured as an Liverepeater origin, follow this guide: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-live-stream-repeater](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-live-stream-repeater) Richard ---

First try playing the stream in a Wowza player: [wowza-install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html Does it play? If not, it is probably protected and cannot be re-streamed using this method Richard ---

If you send a working rtmp url and stream name to support@wowza.com, we can try it. Include a link to this thread for reference. Richard ---

Dear Richard, thank you very much for your reply, I tried both methods and many other things, but unfortunately without success ☹ Could you try to restream it, if I send you the source-stream via private message or e-mail (because I can not publish here the source-stream)? I would be very thankfull if you could help me this way. Greetings, FxWorker ---

Well, on my Wowza-Live-html I can not play it, but on my linux opensource player I can play the stream this way: rtmp://cp12345.live.edgefcs.net/live playpath=xyz\_1\_800@12345 I don´t know if there is a protection, but the stream-owner told me, I can use this if I restream/redistribute it with my own Wowza-Server. Any hints for me? Greetings, FxWorker
