VOD Edge Application with MediaCache and ABR

hi, is it possible to use the MediaCach with SMIL files stored local in wowza content directory or on an http server. With an VOD (Single Server Application) all works fine. but our conntent is delivered over http to wowza mediacach in an wowza VOD Edge Application. let assume the cach storage is called httpstorage and the application is test how shout it be called with HLS > http://wowzaserver/test/httpstorage/smil:video.smil/playlist.m3u8 and how shoud looks like the src path in the SMIL to reach the video over the cach? with cach prefix or without. or is it not possible to create such a usecase?

Hello @Paul Toronowski,

You should be able to store the smil files in a different location than your MediaCache files.

You can use the following support article in order to use a custom module that would enable this type of functionality:

Hope this helps guide you in the right direction.
