HI

I am new to wowza as well for streaming applications. Please help me that how can I stream my screen video to wowza server over udp.

I am familiar with the use of ffmpeg. I am using ffmpeg to send stream to wowza server. I also want to record that file on the server. I read the wowza documentations but found help only for MPEG-TS based encoders when streaming with udp.

Please help how can I stream with udp.

Thanks

Hi,

If you’re familiar with FFMPEG, there are a few solutions out there to capture the screen via that tool, [here is one way.](http://nerdlogger.com/2011/11/03/stream-your-windows-desktop-using-ffmpeg/)

Then it is just a matter of taking that resulting command and blending it with output to an mpeg-ts stream to Wowza Streaming Engine.

[This article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29) shows how use ffmpeg to send different inputs to Wowza as MPEG-TS.

Similar can be done with VLC as well. Here’s an article on [how to send streams to Wowza using the VLC command line.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29&page=2#comments)

The input half of the command is somewhat easier than FFMPEG though:

```auto
   vlc -vvv screen:// :screen-fps=24

```

I have [tested this with VLC](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/36181) and using [the mpeg-ts guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder%28MPEG-TS-based-encoder%29) to re-stream in Wowza.
