Thanks Randoll,

I am using vlc player version 2.0.1. I followed the link [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) and [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder) and atlast i follow ur suggestion in the forum link in

[wowza application name for VLC streaming](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/36187), there u set the capture mode as desktop,instead i set the capture mode as directshow

After all when i try to publish the stream,no video is displayed in vlc in responce of publish…and error which says streaming/transcoding failed:vlc couldnot open the encoder occurs…How to solve this regarding publish the stream from vlc player.

Thanks,

Divya
