Hi All,

I’ve got Wowza successfully taking an incoming RTMP stream, transcoding it, and republishing it via adaptive bit-rate HLS.

Now I’d like to do the same from an RTSP source, however I’ve only been able to get it to re-transmit the stream via RTSP. The source stream isn’t being passed to the transcoder, so I’m unable to re-publish the RTSP source via adaptive HLS…

I’ve created a stream file with the RTSP source & connected it to my live application. In the transcoder, I’ve disabled stream name matching & set the target transcoder template as the fallback.

What am I missing?

Many thanks in advance!

Doug
