Hello i am new to wowza, i installed the software successfully and i have an rtmp live stream url like this rtmp://website.com/live somestream.stream [http://www.website/livecontent/up/jw…yer/player.swf](http://www.website/livecontent/up/jw...yer/player.swf) [http://www.website.com/mychannel/](http://www.website.com/mychannel/) i tested the stream in this [wowza-install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html and it is working fine. How can i watch this in WMS? I believe WOWZA can converter rtmp to other format. i really appreciate if you provide me some info and instructions. ---

By WMS do you mean Wowza Media Server? Wowza User Manuals can be found here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/user-guides](https://www.wowza.com/docs/user-guides) Wowza tutorials with info on playback can be found here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/tutorials](https://www.wowza.com/docs/tutorials) ---

Use cupertino streaming to playback in Roku. Add “cupertinostreamingpacketizer” to the /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /LiveStreamPacketizers. The playback URL would look like [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-roku-with-wowza-streaming-engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-roku-with-wowza-streaming-engine) ```auto http://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/myStream/playlist.m3u8 ``` Richard ---

Take a look at the transcoding examples at the bottom of this article: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/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) Replace the url of the source stream (an rtsp url in the first example) with the mms url.
