Hi,

I’m new to Wowza, but have a general question. Is it possible to take a set of MPEG2 VOD files, and broadcast them as a live 24x7 stream (MPEG2 format again)?

Also, assuming that is possible, is it possible to interject SCTE-35 markers into the live stream ?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

You should be able to use VLC to send that file as a live stream with h.264/AAC

I don’t think SCTE-35 is supported.

You can inject cuepoints in the live stream

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-inject-cue-points-or-metadata](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-inject-cue-points-or-metadata)

And these can be converted to ID3 for iOS

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-convert-ontextdata-events-in-a-live-or-vod-stream-to-timed-events-id3-tags-in-an-apple-hls-stream](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-convert-ontextdata-events-in-a-live-or-vod-stream-to-timed-events-id3-tags-in-an-apple-hls-stream)

And there is a package that involves CEA-608 data.

Thanks, that gives me some confidence!!

So, how about not just repeating a single VOD video, would I be able to do a list of them?

And also, how about the SCTE-35 markers ?

Hi,

Found the article about [MPEG-TS ingestion to monitor data streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-mpeg-ts-ingestion-to-process-additional-data-streams-scte-35-klv-etc%28SCTE-35-KLV-etc%29), so there is some support of SCTE-35 in Wowza added recently.

However, it is not clear, can the Wowza just pass though the SCTE data? Let say I’m publishing MPEGTS (udp) file with SCTE, and get the stream via RTMP from server - will the data be there?

Thanks
