ZEC Adding File Streams

2min

This input creates a file input for the ZEC from a local or mounted disk and subsequently streams it to the end-user.
If the stream is an MPTS stream, you can either upload it as an MPTS file or you can demux it into separate SPTS input streams. To Demux the MPTS stream, create the input stream by following the instructions below, and then follow the instruction in the Demuxing an MPTS Stream section.
