I saw here: [Set up nDVR playback of live streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-trickplay-for-flash-vp6-or-spark-content)

that trickplay was not supported by Wowza back in 2010. Now, is there any updated? Is this feature supported?

I have an on demand video stored on S3 cloud, which I fetch using RTSP protocol, like this:

> rtsp://[serverip]:1935/vods3/_definst_/mp4:amazons3/[a-bucket-name]/[a-file-name].MP4

**Question** : How can I use trickplay feature on them? For fast forward, rewind, slow down, etc.

If I need to use any other protocol like RTMP, I can give it a try.

**Codec used:**

Video: H264

Audio: ulaw (maybe G.711)
