Configure Wowza Streaming Engine™ media server software to manage unaligned video packets that may be sent by some MPEG-TS-based encoders. These unaligned packets appear as garbage or missing video when they're played.
You can specify application properties in Wowza Streaming Engine Manager or by editing [install-dir]/conf/[application]/Application.xml. If you make changes to Application.xml, any supported settings are displayed in Wowza Streaming Engine Manager the next time it's started.
