Hi,

I would need a method to clone stream when encoder connects to a Wowza application. Lets say encoded stream has name myStream and in Wowza I would like to create 2 streams: myStrean and myStrean1.

Is it possible?

Regards,

Marek

Markek,

You can create an alias for a stream, then use that alias to play the stream. You can have many aliases pointing to same stream

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-the-streamnamealias-addon](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-the-streamnamealias-addon)

A built in way is with .play files in content folder. myStream1.play could contain myStream, you can play myStream1.play

I guess you could use PushPublishing addon:

Richard,

Thanks for reply, but what I need is some kind of fork of input stream no just a name alias. I want input packets go through 2 independent processing paths.

Regards,

Marek
