I’m having some troubles to configure Wowza engine to work as a Origin, I have a flussonic encoder and want to make Wowza to work as a origin.

But i can’t configure flussonic encoder in Sources(live) \> Other Encoders.

Best Regards

Assuming you are using Flussonic Streamer with transcoding feature, in my experience working with both streamers, that won’t work

both, Wowza and Flussonic, use some kind of propietary protocol to distribute from origin to repeater. So Origin/Edge setting won’t work.

You can send the streams from Flussonic to Wowza though as a rtmp push from Flussonic to Wowza, or as a UDP multicast, but it’s an always on setting
