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.

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.

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](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher)

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](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](http://localhost:1935/app/myStreamClassStream/Manifest)

Because it is a live stream.

I understand, but it’s not supported at present in Wowza.

You tried that already, right? It works, but it is a live stream. It’s not substitute for video on demand.

</div>

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](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.

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](http://localhost:1935/app/songs.mp4/Manifest) ???)

But if I can do the query - [http://localhost:1935/app/FileA\_FileB\_FileC.mp4/Manifest](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.

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 :

[http://localhost:1935/app/myStream/Manifest](http://localhost:1935/app/myStream/Manifest)
