Wowza Streaming Engine Release Notes 2025

Wowza Streaming Engine

New push-based CDN workflow with distribution to Wowza Video

The Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.23 release introduces a new push-based CDN workflow that interacts directly with Wowza Video to distribute live streams to global audiences over HLS. This workflow uses stream targets to manage and push streaming data to Wowza Video. All stream targets are managed within the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager interface, so there's no need for additional steps in Wowza Video. There are also no requirements to configure your server firewall when setting up this functionality. To learn more, see the following resources:

Frame-rate reduction added to AMD Xilinx accelerated transcoding
To improve processing times, the AMD Xilinx Alveo U30 data center accelerator card now supports frame rate reduction. With this new functionality, users that select U30 as the scaler implementation can reduce the frame rate by half when utilizing the Alveo U30 card. The only limitation is that the first output needs to match the incoming frame rate
