Hi, I’d like to re stream a live RTMP stream (for example, let’s take this one: rtmp://cp39414.live.edgefcs.net/live/argent@9751) using ffmepg to a Wowza server. On the Wowza server, I added a “stream file” (rtmp://127.0.0.1:10000) I tried these commands with no success (connection refused) ```auto ffmpeg -re -i "rtmp://cp39414.live.edgefcs.net/live/argent@9751" -c:v copy -c:a libfaac -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:10000 ffmpeg -i "rtmp://cp39414.live.edgefcs.net app=live playpath=argent@9751 live=1" -f flv rtmp://127.0.0.1:10000 ``` Do you know what command I should use to restream a live RTMP stream to Wowza? Thanks ---

Thanks, it helps. I was wondering how to restream a live m3u8 streaming. I am using ffmpeg as well to stream mpeg-ts file to Wowza with UDP (and stream files) but I got messages like those ones: ```auto frame=19957 fps= 25 q=-1.0 size= 179883kB time=00:13:18.44 bitrate=1845.6kbits/s [mpegts @ 0x6650c0] PES packet size mismatch frame=19965 fps= 25 q=-1.0 Lsize= 179994kB time=00:13:18.74 bitrate=1846.0kbits/s video:151328kB audio:12736kB subtitle:0 data:0 global headers:0kB muxing overhead 9.710015% ``` I don’t know if it’s coming from ffmpeg. Do you know another encoder that i can use to live stream mpeg-ts files to Wowza? Would it be possible with VLC ? ---

Yes, VLC is a good solution, here is a guide to set this up: [How to use VLC as a live stream encoder with Wowza Media Server (MPEG-TS)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29) Salvadore ---
