Is it possible to publish hls segments from a non-Wowza source (such as an encoder) to the Wowza Streaming Engine?

[Brittney_Shotwell]

I am currently testing a demo encoder that is capable of outputting multiple streaming formats. I can push RTMP from this encoder to Wowza, but we really need to see if we can push/publish the ts segments created by the encoder’s hls segmenter to the Wowza then point a video player (such as VLC for testing) to Wowza to play the hls stream.

I saw a post from early last year where it said that this feature was in development, but I have not found anything more recent.

Hello,

You can set up an application that ingests content from a live source that provides a stream using an Apple HLS format that can be retrieved by Wowza Streaming Engine version 4.5.0.01 and later.

Instructions are available in the following article called How to publish and play a live stream (Apple HLS)
