How can I set up a mistserver to transcode a local mp4 file with a specific resulution and then pushing out as a tsudp stream?
I really tried a lot with my basic knowledge, but couldnt find out how.

For example, I have 1920x1080 mp4 file which I want to stream as ts stream in 720p.

Hey there,

MistServer does not do transcoding out of the box and we currently do not support setting up a stream process for VoD content. That does mean options using MistServer here are quite limited. 
You could first transcode the MP4 to 720p and then stream it out. I would say that this is only meaningful if you plan to stream out this same VoD file more often.

If it's a one-time deal I would honestly just use ffmpeg for this:

ffmpeg -re -i INPUT FILE -c:a copy -c:v h264 -s 1280x720 -f mpegts udp://UDPADDRESS

Something like this should do what you're looking for. 


With kind regards,
