Hello,

I an trying to stream a local .mp4 file from my laptop to Wowza streaming engine. To do that I followed these links and did exactly as it says.

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-ffmpeg-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts)

[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)

I installed ffmpeg on my laptop and I give the following command,

ffmpeg -re -i “bunny\_1080p\_60fps\_normal.mp4” -vcodec libx264 -vb 150000 -g 60 -vprofile baseline -level 2.1 -acodec aac -ab 64000 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -vbsf h264\_mp4toannexb -strict experimental -f mpegts udp://192.168.1.22:10000

It runs on the terminal, but I am not able to view the stream on any of the Wowza’s test players.

Both the systems are able to ping each other. Please help me what to do further.
