stream files from remote server

Hi,

I install wowza streaming engine from server 1 and my example.mp4 file has on server 2 with address http://www.myaddresss.com

Can I stream this file from wowza like az VOD application? ( without transfer to wowza content folder)

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

You can use Media Cache for this purpose:

Hello,

Do you see any errors in your [install-dir]/logs/wowzastreamingengine_access.log file related to this MediaCache read attempt? You can add debug logging for MediaCache by editing the MediaCache.xml file and set Root/MediaCache/DebugLog to true. You will have to restart Wowza after making the change.

Best regards,

Andrew

Hello and thanks,

I run step by step with this document

The file is in http://www.mydomian.com/uploads/video/mp4/7.mp4

1- I create media cache source with http/ prefix and http://www.mydomian.com/ base path and 10 Min minimum and 20 Min maximum time to live

2- create Vod Edge App with name “mediacache” and select “All Media Cache Sources are available”

3- In player I have this url for example: http://wowza server IP:1935/mediacache/definst/mp4:http/uploads/video/mp4/7.mp4/manifest.f4m

But when I start I have this error:

Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied.

Please help me

Thank you

Hello,

I add a “/” at the end of server address. This is true

So I need stream a adaptive bit rate of my files. I have 3 quality of files in remote server.

How can I create smil file and addressing in player to playe with adobe hds?

Thank you

Hello,

I find the true way for ABR:

In the smile section use mp4:filename.mp4

copy smile file to the remote server

set url in the player: http/path/smilfilename.smil

Thank you for all
