You must have made your Application.xml /Streams /StorageDir empty, because Wowza is looking for the .smil file here:

/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/applications/vod/streams

Which is where a Wowza application looks for content when StorageDir is empty (it is the old FMS standard path).

If you have the .smil in the [install-dir]/content folder, then you either need to point to that in the Application.xml /Streams /StorageDir (as it was in the original file), or put the .smil and the files where Wowza is looking for it: /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/applications/vod/streams

Wowza is looking in this folder:

/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/applications/vod/streams/definst

You have to follow the guidance in the Security Overview to enable SecureToken with RTMPE or RTMPS

SecureToken works without RTMPE but it is not as secure.

Do you have requireSecureConnection enabled? You are not using RTMPE, so if you have requireSecureConnection enabled, the connection will fail unless you are using RTMPE or RTMPS. So try change rtmp:// to rtmpe://

Let me take a closer look. I know you are making a lot of changes, but I need to see a snapshot of what you are doing. So, re-start Wowza, then playback one of the individual streams in your secured player, then playback the smil. Also download a stream in this test.

Then zip up and send /conf folder and the current access log showing the above re-start and tests to support@wowza.com. Please be sure the /conf folder you send is unaltered after this test, what you send should be exactly what was in place during the test.

Include a link to this thread for reference.

You want to set a path. By default it is:

<StorageDir>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/content</StorageDir>

With this path you will need to put the movie file and .smil file in the [install-dir]/content folder.

Also, the hotlink denial module keeps people from embedding your video into their own website but to keep them from downloading the video file, you will need to use the SecureToken module.
