Yes, I’ve actually created a smil manually for now, but JW player doesn’t play the media. It appears to parse it ok, as I get all the bitrates listed, but no playback.
Even if I get JW working, I think I will still need a manifest.f4m to make this work on android. Note that the intent is to serve directly from Cloud storage, no wowza or other server in front. Currently the smil file gets downloaded as text on android or desktop.
My url looks like this:
http://vod.mydomain.com/u/80005555V_MP4.smil
Here is what my smil looks like:
…
With this type of smil file, JW player is expecting an RTMP address in the meta tag. It should be the RTMP address of your Wowza server application.
<meta base="rtmp://[wowza-ip]:1935/[wowza-app]"/>
If you remove the meta tag completely from the smil file above and upload it to the application Content directory on your Wowza server then you will be able to use the url’s that Salvadore has provided (note Wowza server urls)
Additionally, you will be able to use the following url in JW Player to automatically generate the correct format smil file for JW Player to use for RTMP playback.
http://vod.mydomain.com:1935/u/80005555V_MP4.smil/jwplayer.smil
This will return the smil file with the correct meta tag (RTMP address)
