Autogenerate smil file after video stream ends (VOD)

[Jonatan_Nunez]

Why Wowza can generate and serve smil file for live application and not for vod application?

http://[server]:8086/medialist?streamname=ngrp:[stream_name]&application=live&format=smil

This works, but when the streaming (record) ends and we have to use vod application, the server sends a 404 Not Found

http://[server]:8086/medialist?streamname=ngrp:[stream_name]&application=vod&format=smil

I don’t want to create the smil file manually

• https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-and-play-smil-files-with-streams-created-by-wowza-transcoder

• https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-generate-a-smil-file-with-an-http-provider

• https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-java-api-calls-to-resolve-smil-file-requests

  There is a plugin that can do it:

  http://thewowza.guru/dynamically-created-smil-for-vod-and-live-streams/

  But it needs a template.

  I don’t know why wowza doesn’t create the smil file after the stream ends.

  One solution could be:

  public class ModuleAMLSTTest extends ModuleBase {
  	private IApplicationInstance appInstance;
  	class MyMediaListProvider implements IMediaListProvider {
  		public MediaList resolveMediaList(IMediaListReader mediaListReader, IMediaStream stream, String streamName) {
  			MediaList mediaList = new MediaList();
  			//list mp4 files in appInstance.getStreamStorageDir() with streamName prefix
  			//get bitrate of each file (is there a function in SDK that accepts a file path and returns the bitrate?)
  			//create new MediaListRendition()
  			//set bitrate
  			return mediaList;
  		}
  	}
  	public void onAppStart(IApplicationInstance appInstance) {
  		this.appInstance = appInstance;
  		appInstance.setMediaListProvider(new MyMediaListProvider());
  	}
  }
  

  And get it with:

  http://[server]:8086/medialist?streamname=amlst:[stream_name]&application=vod&format=smil
  

  But… is there a native solution?

  Thanks!
