I was wondering what would be the best way to stream to Wowza using RTMP using chunk of videos being uploaded to a server in real time (from a mobile or similar device) One way I found was to process the chunks via ffmpeg and output it to a RTMP stream (wowza) The ffmpeg docs for concat lists the following way ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy output The mylist.txt file contains file like file ‘/path/to/file1’ file ‘/path/to/file2’ file ‘/path/to/file3’ What I am looking is for a way to do this concat in a persistent way where the number of files can keep increasing, for example in livestreaming I will be sending chunks of video (mp4 files) of 10 seconds each to my server and want to concat/stitch them together to output to a RTMP stream (for livestreaming) If concat is not the proper way to do this, please suggest alternatives. ---

Hi, I assume this would be possible using ffmpeg(as you mentioned) in front of Wowza. If you want one of Wowza’s authorized consultants to help you find a solution, please post your request in the [Find a consultant](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7)forum. Regards, Salvadore ---

Hi, According to the [FFMPEG info here](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate) you may be able to loop the commands to buld the file lists and to create the persistence you require. Then combine that with the [FFMPEG encoding command examples](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29) we have. Daren ---

Won’t consultant thing be paid ? I was just looking for a general answer for a idea I have The only thing I am not getting is how to concatenate the chunks on the fly or if I can send each individual chunk to the RTMP stream ---
