Mediacache edge/edge config & auth question

[solidx]

Hi, i have 2 question in mind:

1. Is it possible for edge/edge config for this? i mean perhaps edge A can get the cached content from edge B?
2. Since we are to pull from http server, is there any configs for authentication to the server? something like publisher.password?

Thanks!

Hi, another question..

I tried the mediacache, the file sample.mp4 is not in the MediaCacheSource dir, but it's in it's original place which is ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/content, but it won't stream from there.

So is there a way to do this? how to configure it to behave this way?
1. check if the video is cache, if it's then take from the cache, otherwise
2. check the /content directory(storageDir), take it if exists, otherwise
2. check the source, if exist then pull from there, otherwise, fail.

The only authentication that is built-in to MediaCache is for use with AWS S3, you enter you AWS keys in the /conf/MediaCache.xml file.

MediaCache streams content from a content server, a web server typically. It does not work edge to edge, or with local content. There is not a way to fail-over to local as you describe.
