media cache with CDN

I build the wowza on google cloud platform, and my contents are store in google cloud storage, I want to use media cache to get the content from cloud storage, then I want to use google cloud load balance with CDN, but if I use media cache, I need to choose vod edge, but it didn’t support for CDN deliver, I need to use vod http origin, but it can’t choose video source from media cache, how can I do to use CDN on cloud platform? thank you!!

Hey Chris,

I have the same requirement where I wanted to use a VOD Edge application instead of a VOD HTTP Origin application for using the Media Cache feature, but at the same time I did not want the server session id (_wXXXXXXX) in the .ts filenames. So, for this, the HTTPOriginMode property in the HTTPStreamer needs to be turned on.

That is, to remove the server session id from the .ts filenames (so that CDN caching works), simply add the following in your VOD Edge application’s Application.xml file:

httpOriginMode

on

String

Hi, David,

Thanks for your information, I will try to edit the config, and feedback the result for you!
