can I vod with media residing on another server?

Hi everyone ,

currently I have moved wowza to a new server, while remained the video files on the original server. I have a question: can I set a network mapping driver path of the video files (they are currently residing on another server) to the wowza as the content storage path? How is the syntax? I try to add the mapping path to the “use the following directory” , it seems that this doesn’t work., and shows the error info “Content Directory does not exist.”

Anyone helps? Very appreciated!

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

You will need to use Media Cache to access content from a remote storage location:
