Wowza Streaming Engine - Media Cache

Hello Wowza Community,

I’m currently trying to setup a Media Cache for media files.

Here are some setup information:

I’m running a Linux (CentOS) Server that generates the SMIL files and stores them on a NFS share.

/mnt/vod/‹SMIL files›

These SMIL files refer to the media in a sub dir

/mnt/vod/player/‹media files such as mp4›

The WSE has the same mount:

/mnt/vod/

In the WSE Manager I created a Media Cache as described in Scale video-on-demand streaming with Wowza Streaming Engine Media Cache.

For testing I use the default Media Cache Store: “default”

${com.wowza.wms.context.ServerConfigHome}/mediacache

As a Media Cache Source I put the following config:

Name:

test

Prefix:

player/

Base Path:

/mnt/vod/

Then I created a VOD Edge Application as follows:

Name:

test

Playback Types:

  • MPEG-DASH
  • Apple HLS

Options

  • Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) enabled

Media Cache Source

test

Closed Caption Sources

  • all enabled

Now my problem is, that there are no SMIL files detected. The result of course is that I cannot test any stream.


I hope you can help me.

Kind regards,

Marcello
