I was successfully able to use vlc player as a live stream encoder with Wowza Streaming Engine by following this tutorial https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts. Now I want to do the same with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and Wowza Streaming Engine. Is it possible? Also if I target end users with desktops, which live encoder should I use with Wowza Streaming Engine?

Yes, obviously you can use Adobe FMLE to encode the stream.

It does not matter what encoder you use. The client do not know anything about your encoder. Wowza accept input stream as rtmp, or rtsp.

Wowza is a multiprotocol server that offers multiple options to deliver the video (HLS, rtmp, HDS,...)

Have a look to the Wowza Specification https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine/specifications

  • thanks for the reply. However I tried FMLE to connect to Wowza media server. But was not able to. – utkarsh2k2 Jan 25 '18 at 14:30
  • I guess some of the settings might be incorrect: (Publishing point, authentication, or maybe video/audio settings). But in general, yes FMLE should work with Wowza without problems. Check Wowza logs and FMLE output to see more details. – jolumg Jan 25 '18 at 14:52
  • i've installed wowza trial version on my local machine as well as FMLE. Moreover the FMLE interface only gives me option to stream to FMS and not Wowza streaming engine – utkarsh2k2 Jan 25 '18 at 15:01
  • FMLE says "Stream to Flash Media Server" but you can use Wowza too, :-) just enable the checkbox, and set the ip/url of your wowza. Wowza trial should work for testing. – jolumg Jan 25 '18 at 15:05
  • I am trying right now but it wont accept the credentials i use for wowza – utkarsh2k2 Jan 25 '18 at 15:35
