Hi ,
I am testing wowza streaming engine on a couple of test vms . I want to scale up a VOD only playing streaming service .
So I 've found that use of mediacache can help on this matter .
Since I like to proceed step by step , I first followed instructions from https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache just to see how mediacache is working . I created the Media Cache store (under ${com.wowza.wms.context.ServerConfigHome}) & source (/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/free_content/ with the sample.mp4 file inside) .
After that I created a vod application as described in url above but looks like something is not right . I am testing it using “Test Players” feature but I am getting an error that says that source stream or file could not be found or access was denied .
Error log is not very helpful , It doesn’t point to the full pathname wowza is seeking the sample file .
I ve noticed that the tutorial keeps saying that a network storage or nfs export should be the file source - I don’t believe this is the issue here .
Anyone else had this kind of problem after following that tutorial ?
Regards,
Nickitas
