I have a self licensed verison of Wowza Stream engine running on my dedicatd server (not on Amazon). I want to stream from s3 to it, and have read that I need Vods3 and mediacache. I have mediacache enabled, but how do I install vods3?

I found the zip and downloaded it, but what do I do with teh tune.sh and startup.xml files?

thx!

I figured it out. VODs3 is just for ec2 instances. I used this link to set up media cache: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache) though it did not show the rtmp format, which this link did: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-amazon-s3-with-a-standalone-wowza-media-server-and-the-mediacache-addon](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-amazon-s3-with-a-standalone-wowza-media-server-and-the-mediacache-addon)
