convert live hls stream into rtmp stream one of our partner is exposing a live HLS stream. I want to know if there is any tool that can take hls live stream as input and convert it to rtmp live stream and ideally push that output to some other server.

Basically we are using wowza server to serve live channels to our clients. As per my knowledge wowza is not taking video stream as input using http protocol. Thats why i am looking for a tool to convert hls stream to rtmp stream.

We are trying to do the following, but it fails:

ffmpeg -i http://bgsf.hls.iptvdc.com/islambox/732/play.m3u8 -re -acodec copy -vcodec copy rtmp://ib12.islambox.tv/live/najam83

C:\&gt;ffmpeg -i http://bgsf.hls.iptvdc.com/islambox/709/play.m
3u8 -re -acodec copy -vcodec copy rtmp://ib12.islambox.tv/live/najam83

Option re (read input at native frame rate) cannot be applied to output file rtm
p://ib12.islambox.tv/live/najam83 -- you are trying to apply an input option to
an output file or vice versa. Move this option before the file it belongs to.
Error parsing options for output file rtmp://ib12.islambox.tv/live/najam83.
Error opening output files: Invalid argument
Because -rf is a output option, I guess, you should put -re ahead like that:
ffmpeg -re -i http://example.com/test.m3u8 -acodec copy -vcodec copy rtmp://example.com/app/stream
