changing application stream content storage

[george_sickler]

New to Wowza,

on a centos server

I am trying to understand how to change the applications.xml file, and do I understand that I should make a new folder in the applications folder.

[install-dir]/applications/myvideos

then copy the applications.xml to this folder?

What if I want to stream from within a different folder from a webserver folder.

so would I change the streaming section of the application.xml file from the $.com.wowza…etc…/content/ to

/home/USERNAME/public_html/mediafiles/

???

thanks for any help, I have been searching the net for hours trying to understand how to make this change.

I have 300gb of mp4 files that i want to stream instead of have it download.

Hi

To create an application you need to create a directory in

[install-dir]/applications/

If you wanted to call it myvideos you would see

[install-dir]/applications/myvideos

Then create a directory in [install-dir]/conf/ called myvideos so you would see

[install-dir]/conf/myvideos

Copy the Application.xml from [install-dir]/conf/ and add to the new directory

[install-dir]/conf/myvideos

Now edit the Application.xml found here

[install-dir]/conf/myvideos/Application.xml

You can configure this application as you wish using the Application.xml

change the streaming section of the application.xml file from the $.com.wowza…etc…/content/ to

/home/USERNAME/public_html/mediafiles/

Yes this is correct.

There is a guide for on demand content here,
