change Storage directory for streams

[mayur.bais]

Hi,
I am trying to streams my flvs' from my "c" drive instead of default storage directory .
I have override Play() method in my custom module like this :

 public void play(IClient client, RequestFunction function, AMFDataList params)
	{
		
		if (params.get(PARAM1).getType() == AMFData.DATA_TYPE_STRING)
		{
			String streamName = params.getString(PARAM1);

			params.set(PARAM1, new AMFDataItem("c://mnt/sdt-platfs1/images/forums2/FR/0/0/videos/videos_8dcd5c3c-9dea-43d3-b8e8-2145ee0c37e0.flv"));
		}
		com.wowza.wms.module.ModuleCore.play(client, function, params);
	}

after making connection from client I get this errorr

  WARN server comment c://mnt/sdt-platfs1/images/forums2/FR/0/0/videos/videos_8dcd5c3c-9dea-43d3-b8e8-2145ee0c37e0.flv open: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server 2\applications\videoeditor\streams\_definst_\c___mnt_sdt-platfs1_images_forums2_FR_0_0_videos_videos_8dcd5c3c-9dea-43d3-b8e8-2145ee0c37e0.flv (The system cannot find the file specified)

Please help how can I Achieve this?
Also do I need to change Application.xml for this module

Thanks in advance

Change Application.xml /StorageDir to the location you want to use.

<StorageDir>c://mnt/sdt-platfs1/images/forums2/FR/0/0/videos</StorageDir>

This is what I did to test if it works external directory for stream storage.
But , I want to change this directory dynamically depending on the input parameter sent from flex client.

Please let me know if there is any way to do this ?

[rrlanham]

You can change StorageDir dynamically through IApplicationInstance method, but I think that will change it for all clients. That's not what you are trying to do, is it?

Richard

[mayur.bais]

right, thats not what we want to do, we have to have different storage directory for each client. it will be dependent on logged in user to application

[rrlanham]

You can use subfolders, for example:

c:\content\userid

Richard

[mayur.bais]

did not understand this ?
where should i specify this subfolder

[rrlanham]

Sorry, it would be client-side in the NetStream.play command.

netstream.play("userid/example.flv");

[rrlanham]

Or more like:

netstream.play("1234/example.flv");

Where 1234 is a userid.

Yes it will be still inside /content of the wowza installation directory, and want it to be outside , may be on some server, or on s3
we are just trying from "c:\" drive to test
