You can't play a file while it is being recorded in Wowza. You need the Wowza nDVR add-on to do something like this:

If you record a live stream with these settings (appendFile=true) then later record again, appending to that file, you should be able to play the first part of the recording while appending a live stream to that file. But you won't be able to play past the end of the previous recorded part of the file.

In flv format rtmp://localhost/live/streamname.flv this for live streaming

and rtmp://localhost/vod/streamname.flv this recorded file.

this application.xml file working file in both live and record.

i'm enable the nDVR settings for use to stream for .mp4 format.

the live video is streaming good but the recorded video is not playback while in the streaming time.

[jwplayer file="mp4:test100" streamer="rtmp://192.168.2.105:1935/dvrlive/" provider="rtmp"]

i use this shortcode for play the live video using wordpress jwplayer.

but i dont know how play the recorded video for use this settings.

To record an .mp4 file in Wowza, first make sure the live stream contains h.264 video and AAC or MP3 audio, then all you have to do is add "mp4:" prefix to the stream name in the encoder (or StreamManager if you are starting a MediaCaster stream).

Stream named "mp4:myStream" will be recorded to myStream.mp4
