i have a situation , need your advice
I need to stream 3 filesin successive when a user tries to play
http://192.168.200.200/vod/mp4:test.f4v/playlist.m3u8
((( this is for Cupertino VOd streaming ))))
the files are
test1.f4v
test2.f4v
test3.f4v
these files , i need to stream back in successive to the user when he/she writes the url as shown above.
can you show me how to write a server side module to do that.
my best regards
There is currently not a way to do this to the iPhone. We can do this type of playlist streaming to Flash but not to the iPhone.
Charlie
We just don’t have a way to do it. You will need to use a video editor tools to combine the individual files into a single file.
Charlie
You can do a server-side playlist using the Stream class. See this post:
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher
Charlie
The Stream class you are proposing to use creates a live stream, not a vod stream. I think the only way this might work is if you use a HTTProvider to prepare it first, then quickly play it.
So the player would have to call an HTTProvider something like:
http://localhost:1935/prepStream
Where prepStream refers to an HTTProvider that you create, and have loaded in VHost.xml /HTTProviders list, which creates the Stream class stream.
Then, immediately following that, you play this live stream:
http://localhost:1935/app/myStreamClassStream/Manifest

Because it is a live stream.
Richard
I understand, but it’s not supported at present in Wowza.
Richard
You tried that already, right? It works, but it is a live stream. It’s not substitute for video on demand.
Richard
Thank you charlie.
But if a need to do same thing for iPhone , could you advice any way,please.
what is the technical reason that you do not implement it to iPhone.
Actually , i did cobine them before sending. I was searching for a server side like solution. any way many thanks , charlie. but i still need the following
if the user tires to write
http://MyIPAddress:1935/VOD/test.f4v/playlist.m3u8?0907100930_30
wowza plays test.f4v.
I want to cancel playing test.f4v and instead send the combined file based on the paparamter 0907100930_30.
How can I create dynamic playlist (like Composite Manifest Structure .csm) for Silverlight ?
Thank you.
I have experience on FMS and now my company want go to Silverlight+Smooth streaming server
I have tested WOWZA and I see we can work with it
But I can’t resolve the last issue.
for example FMS:
application.onConnect = function(user)
{
Client.prototype.songPlay = function(songsNow)
{
this.songStream = Stream.get(“songs”);
if (this.songStream)
{
this.songStream.play(“mp4:Flash”, 0);
this.songStream.play(“mp4:Take5”, 0, -1, false);
this.songStream.play(“mp4:PrideofMan”, 0, -1, false);
}
};
Client.prototype.stopPlay = function(songsNow)
{
this.songStream.play(false);
};
};
and after that I can play rtmp:\SERVER:port\fms_app\songs
I see I can write same code for WOWZA
but I don’t understand How to do it for Silverlight Smooth Streaming because:
I can’t call “songPlay” (nc.call(“songPlay”,…)) from Silverlight
and I don’t know where I can create Stream
…
Stream stream = Stream.createInstance(vhost, app.getName(), streamName);
stream.play(“mp4:Flash”, 0);
stream.play(“mp4:Take5”, 0, -1, false);
stream.play(“mp4:PrideofMan”, 0, -1, false);
…
and how can I play it from Silverlight player (http://localhost:1935/app/songs.mp4/Manifest ???)
But if I can do the query - http://localhost:1935/app/FileA_FileB_FileC.mp4/Manifest
and on the fly create stream
public void onStreamCreate(IMediaStream stream)
{
Stream stream = Stream.createInstance(vhost, app.getName(), streamName);
stream.play(“mp4:FileA”, 0);
stream.play(“mp4:FileB”, 0, -1, false);
stream.play(“mp4:FileC”, 0, -1, false);
}
and Smooth Streaming PLayer will play it I think it will resolve my problem.
Sorry for my bad English.
but in this case I haven’t FastForward FastBackward Seek and Slow Motion
my task play playlist like ordinary file (like .csm file on IIS7+Smooth Streaming )
ok. We haven’t support for .CSM but can we do so:
public void onAppStart(IApplicationInstance appInstance) {
Stream stream=Stream.createInstance(appInstance, “myStream”);
stream.play(“test.mp4”, 0, -1, true);
stream.play(“test2.mp4”, 0, -1, false);
}
and from Silverlight player :
Yes I did. It’s working but I can’t get what I need.
Thank you for your help.
