Hello,
I’m looking for guidance on how I can add these to a running instance. The wowza pre-built ami was used for this, but a custom .zip file was used to install the applications we need. I can’t find any reference to S3FS on our server, or in the default.zip file you offer here [http://wowzamediasystems.s3.amazonaws.com/packagelist.html](http://wowzamediasystems.s3.amazonaws.com/packagelist.html). I could easily add the vods3 application to my startup going forward, but I need to modify an existing instance, and I’d like to understand how S3FS gets installed.
Thanks,
Grant
