I wan to create a playlist with streamPublisher from mediacache files. I tried like this, but it doesn’t work:

```auto
<smil>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <stream name="Stream1"></stream>
        <playlist name="pl1" playOnStream="Stream1" repeat="true" scheduled="2009-12-11 16:00:00">
            <video src="http://[host]:1935/mediacache/_definst_/mp4:http/big_buck_bunny.mp4/manifest.mpd" start="-1" length="20"/>
        </playlist>
    </body>
</smil>

```

Is there a way to do it?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Wowza Forums!

Here is a link to an article where you can set different storage locations and use mediacache to scale.
