How to set up incoming stream in wowza from a file?

The problem is simple. There is an mkv file that is updating in real time.Say it is a destination for live video streaming so its size continuously is being increased.

Question - How can I set up this file as an incoming stream in wowza ?

Is it even possible ?

Can I configure this file in real time to any format that wowza supports ?

Wowza does not currently support ingesting files in an MKV format. You can opt to try to re-stream the file using ffmpeg and then push it as an RTMP, RTSP, or MPEG-TS stream to Wowza.

For example, when pushing the MKV file as an RTSP stream with authentication to Wowza:

ffmpeg -re -i sample.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy -f rtsp rtsp://user:[email protected]:1935/live/myStream
