I am running Wowza SME4.0.6 with JW Player 6.05 on a Mac Mini Server running OS10.9 Server. I am not using a Playlist on this website. The media is embedded on each page calling for VOD. I am trying to creat a SMIL file using a wildcard (\*). Is this something that is possible? I’ll be honest, I’m not a coding genius but am willing to tackle this. I am running a VOD server for our School of Nursing for training materials. I would like to be able to cross-platform stream the content to our students and faculty. Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Hi,

There is a programmatic method of producing smil-like play lists.

There’s [more information available here.](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?14664-New-API-for-resolving-MediaList-%28SMIL-file-requests%29-through-Java-API)

If it proves difficult, we do have our [‘find a consultant’](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7) part of our forum, where you can ask if anyone can help with your project.

Best regards,

Daren
