Video in content folder not picked up

I have a video in the content folder, BornToBeWild_New_20minClip_15_to_925.mpg

When I go to the proper streaming URL: http://173.9.149.246:1935/Movies/mp4:BornToBeWild_New_20minClip_15_to_925/playlist.m3u8 I get a 404 error.

In the logs I see:

MediaReaderH264.open[Movies/_definst_]: Not found: H:/Movies/SC - Movies/BornToBeWild_New_20minClip_15_to_925.: java.io.FileNotFoundException: H:\Movies\SC - Movies\BornToBeWild_New_20minClip_15_to_925 (The system cannot find the file specified)|at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(Native Method)|at java.io.RandomAccessFile.(Unknown Source)|at com.wowza.io.WowzaRandomAccessFile.(WowzaRandomAccessFile.java:12)|at com.wowza.io.DirectRandomAccessReader.open(DirectRandomAccessReader.java:236)|at com.wowza.wms.mediareader.h264.MediaReaderH264.open(MediaReaderH264.java:252)|

Other movies play fine, just the new ones added recently get the 404 errors.

Please help!

I see a couple issues. One, you need a append a .mp4 extension to the stream name. You have:

http://173.9.149.246:1935/Movies/mp4:BornToBeWild_New_20minClip_15_to_925/playlist.m3u8

It should be:

http://173.9.149.246:1935/Movies/mp4:BornToBeWild_New_20minClip_15_to_925[B].mp4[/B]/playlist.m3u8

Second, take a look at the specs page:

.mpg is not supported for VOD. Transcode to a quicktime container (.mp4, .m4v, .mov)

Thanks for the update and glad to hear you got this sorted.

Thanks for the prompt reply. We got it working by converting to mp4 and adding the extension.
