title: Live Video Broadcasting in Android using Wowza Server
body: <p>I have tried <strong>broadcasting</strong> videos in Android app through Wowza server and it works pretty well with <a href="https://github.com/vanevery/JavaCV_0.3_stream_test" rel="nofollow">this demo of javaCV.</a></p>
  
  <p>But the only problem with this is that it uses flv file format to broadcast on Wowza server. It uses <strong>FFmpegFrameRecorder</strong> to broadcast live video to wowza server (not VOD). To set format of the video broadcasted at server, it uses following method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>recorder.setFormat("flv");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So the main problem with this method is that when I use other formats, it doesn't work. For E.g.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>recorder.setFormat("mpeg"); //or something like mov, etc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong><em>Please suggest a way to broadcast video from Android device to wowza server with any format other than flv.</em></strong> Please provide any links or tutorials with which I can start.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Edit:</em></strong> I am able to play only audio while streaming vlc video format in Android and iOS devices. </p>
