Hi

We are testing wowza stream engine 30 day trial right now. Our main goal is to send a live MP4 live stream and retransmit stream out as MPEG TS using MPEG 2 format.

I was able to setup the the incoming steam with no issues. I setup the generic MPEG TS transport stream and says active.

I wanted to test the output stream using VLC on my laptop. I told VLC to open network stream Udp://@:55125.

I get the stream but VLC codec says its still in MP4 format and not MPEG 2. I attached a screen shot of the wowza target stream setup and VLC codec.

How can retransmit an MPEG TS transport stream as MPEG 2 inside Wowza Stream Engine and not MP4?

thanks
