First of all, Hi! I’m new here so a few words about me: I’m a freelance consultant trying to enter the Streaming world and I’m starting with simple tasks. I’m a newbie here so excuse me for my lack of knowledge. I’m trying to find a way to convert a VOD playlist into RTMP stream. Is it possibile with Wowza ? for testing purpose I used OBS adding VOD as Web (embedded) URL and generated the RTMP output and I would achieve same result with a server-side process. Thanks in advance for the help! ---

Very exciting that your entering the streaming world! 📹 So are you : - Trying to play an mp4 file as a live stream? VOD to live? - Or are you asking how to stream VOD to VOD using RTMP as the playback protocol?
