Hello there,

i know it is a simple question but i dont find informations about it. Which video formats does Wowza support for on demand streaming? I know from the example that the format .m4v is supported.

Take a look at this section of the Quickstart guide:

That page lists…

The following table lists the more common file type prefixes (for a complete list consult the User’s Guide):

flv: FLV (Flash Video - this is the default media type so the qualifier and the file extension can be omitted)

Example: “flv:mycoolvideo.flv”

mp4: MP4 (QuickTime container - .mp4, .f4v, .mov, .m4v, .mp4a, .3gp, and .3g2)

Example: “mp4:mycoolvideo.mov”

mp3: MP3 (.mp3)

Example: “mp3:mycoolsong.mp3”

smil: SMIL (XML files used to configure multi-bitrate streams - .smil)

Is .ts supported as source media type with Wowza Media Server? How about for live broadcast?

Wowza Server supports MPEG-TS. Take a look at this How to publish and play a live stream (MPEG-TS based encoder) tutorial.
