First of all, hello everyone, as this is my first post.
I’ve got very simple requirement. I want to play a number of files as one stream.
I tried the following method:
> **[Schedule streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher)**
>
> Use the StreamPublisher module to schedule streams and playlists for Wowza Streaming Engine.
with my streamschedule.smil file:
```auto
```
I play my stream in the following way using my live app (myApp1):
Server: rtmp://localhost/myApp1
Stream: test\_playlist
Everything works fine, apart from the fact that scrubbing is not available when I play the stream of 3 files, and when I want to play the stream again I need to restart the server or use ModuleScheduleClient.
Second approach I tried to achieve the same functionality I used the method described below:
[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-insert-a-pre-roll-or-mid-roll-for-video-on-demand-playback-in-flash-rtmp-client](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-insert-a-pre-roll-or-mid-roll-for-video-on-demand-playback-in-flash-rtmp-client)
But I am not sure if I can use the same .smil file as above if yes then my question is how to achieve that?
Secondly I tried to stick midroll, that worked fine, but there is a sentence which is not quite clear to me:
> You could play any number of streams whole or in part as one stream
How can I play any number of streams? Can I specify more video clips in “stream:” field?
Thank you for any help in advance.

The [2nd link](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-insert-a-pre-roll-or-mid-roll-for-video-on-demand-playback-in-flash-rtmp-client) is the correct and at present the only way to do vod playlist, and it only works for Flash RTMP clients. There is no smil involved.
