Hi, You could have two live applications and then edges if you wanted using Wowza Streaming Engine 4. The setup would be as you described (live-live-edges) and you could use PushPublishing to get the streams from the first live application to the second and then use the second live application to packetize for the edges. Take a look at the [Push Publishing Article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-push-streams-to-cdns-and-other-services-push-publishing) for configuration instructions. Jason ---

I think that only works in Wowza 4.0 and higher. It doesn’t work in my test on 3.6.4.02, but does work in Wowza 4.0.0 Richard ---

Live rtmp publish connections should re-establish when possible. If it is a MediaCaster stream, you might have to re-start, and if that helps you could use the [MediaCaster Monitor](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-enable-advanced-monitoring-and-resetting-of-mediacaster-streams) to reset streams.

Hi jason can i in the second server publish a stream and in the stream file add the rtmp for the first server? does push publish has an advantage over that? ---

Hi What i am doing now is vlc-\>live-\>live in the first live i have a stream file for each stream i am geting from vlc for example in live1.stream is have udp://0.0.0.0:10010 and on the second live live2.stream has rtmp://x.x.x.x:1935/live/live1.stream so far so good. i want to pushpublish from the first live to the second as you have already mentiand, but even after reading the articale i have hard time understanding how to config it correctly. I have the fallowing line: myStream={profile:“rtmp”, streamName:“myStream”, host:“[www.mydestination.com](http://www.mydestination.com)”} and a couple of questions: does “myStream” points to udp://0.0.0.0:10010? (still need to create a stream file) how do i configure the second live server? do i need a stream file for each incoming rtmp stream for each of my channels? thanks /asaf ---

Hi, If you would rather use .stream files to pull the streams from the origin to the second server that can be done without issue. Either way can be done and it’s personal preference as to which way you would like to configure the servers. When using PushPublishing you will only have to manage one file on the origin server, when using .stream files on the second server you will have to create one for each stream. If you have many streams this will require you creating many .stream files. We have an article on [How to create and use .stream files in Wowza Streaming Engine Manager](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-and-use-stream-files-in-wowza-streaming-engine-manager) Jason ---

Hi, If you are **pulling** a stream from one server to the other then you use .stream files on the second server that is pulling the stream in. If you are **pushing** a stream from one server to another then you **don’t use**.stream files on the second server. In the **push publish** configuration, the name to the **left** of the **=** is the name of the source stream. On your live1 server, that would be **live1.stream**. On the second server that is receiving the stream, it will use the name that is defined by the **streamName** parameter. If you don’t set the **streamName** parameter then it will use the same name as the source. You can simplify the push publish configuration by using the following line in your configuration that will forward all streams from the first server to the second and use the original stream name on the second server. ```auto *={profile:"rtmp", host:"[second-server-wowza-ip]", userName:"[second-server-publish-user-name]", password:"[second-server-publish-password]"} ``` The **\*** matches all incoming streams and because the **streamName** is not set, the original name will be used. I added **userName** & **password** parameters because the default setting with Wowza Streaming Engine \>= 4.0 is to require these for publishing. Roger.
