Hi all,
i need to recording a MPEG2 Transport Stream protocol (MPEG-TS) going out from a DVB-T/S. I have seen that it’s possible by setting the value stream-type = record.
The question is: the produced file in that format is it ? is possible to have a MP4 or FLV ?
thanks.

For mpeg-ts stream, use StreamManager to start the stream with MediaCaster type “rtp-record”.
To record to mp4 container, use mp4: prefix in the stream name, for example stream name “mp4:mpegts.stream” will record to mpegts.stream.mp4
Where mpegts.stream is a .stream file in the content folder containing url to your stream.

Are you able to start the stream with MediaCaster type “rtp” and play it back in the Wowza LiveVideoStreaming player:
Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/dvbslive
Stream: mpegts.stream
