EC2 / S3 / multiple plugins

[charlie]

1. First can is use multiple bucket with different authentification on S3 ? And can i add a new bucket (for a new customer) without having to reboot to wowza server to refresh the config ? The project plan to use many Wowza edge server, so if i need to restart the server, i have a huge problem

We only support a single set of credentials.

2. I need a plugin with the onConnect method to check a user based token in the database and updated it before i allow the user to connect to the stream. So i need to pass a token (SHA) in the stream URI and do mysql query based on this token and remote user informations (ip, referrer, ...)

This should be quite easy to implement. Check out the examples in the forums.

OK but i can use a single set of credentials for multiple bucket, right ?

Yes I have a first version working correctly on my test server, but i was not sure if this kind of authentification can work with vods3. Thanks for your answer master charlie, it's always god to read your posts.

One more question about vods3, do you have GET request statistics usage for a normal stream or a documentation explaining how vods3 handle files from S3 and/or from cache ? I need this informations to be able to do some S3 cost estimations for my customer.

Yes, as long as all the buckets share the same credentials you can stream from any number of buckets. There is not limit.

I don't have any way info on this. There is no transfer charge between S3 and EC2. So there is not cost for pulling the content from S3 to the EC2 instance that is going to deliver the content as long as the EC2 instance is in the same zone as the bucket.
