If the file is on your Wowza server it can be used by following these steps:

  1. Make sure server is set up to play VOD: http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?35-How-to-play-a-video-on-demand-file)
  2. Copy the file into the Wowza server's content directory, [install-dir]/content.
  3. It should work then with the url rtmp://wowza-ipadress:1935/vod/flv:test.flv

Good Luck.

  • thank for answering. Actually i have to play file on mobile. I am successfully able to play video file with .flv on wowza server. But problem is how to play .flv on android device. There are two options either i can save file on wowza server with .mp4 or how to play .flv file on android. i searched how to play .flv file what i found is flv file must be saved in SD card before with .html file and will run in webview. But i have to livestream video. I dont want to save video on mobile. – user3132339 Jan 09 '14 at 07:27
  • I see. To play on Android 4.x, you'll need to re-encode your video to an mp4 file, as you mention, and then enable HLS in Wowza and play it that way. For Gingerbread devices, you can play that rtmp url provided a flash player is installed on the device (and that must be side-loaded AFAIK, as the Adobe player is no longer in the Play Store). – grant Jan 09 '14 at 14:35
  • We need to re-encode .flv vedio file to an .mp4 file. Is is not possible to save .mp4 vedio on wowza server. How we will convert .flv to .mp4 – user3132339 Jan 10 '14 at 05:21
  • You can use a number of different tools to do that, including ffmpeg. A google search will give you more ideas including free and paid tools. I am not sure you mean by "save .mp4 vidio on wowza server". You will put the .mp4 file in the content directory as you did the .flv file. – grant Jan 10 '14 at 14:29
  • Yes your are right the way m saving .flv file on server. i want to save .mp4 file on wowoza server. So its easy to play. – user3132339 Jan 14 '14 at 04:47
