Hi, I have wowza version 4.7.7, I have vod applications and streaming applications. I wanna have a cache for vod app. The video storage is on nfs and mounted to wowza vm.  
I have some local ssd storage and mounted to the wowza vm. I’ve created a media cache store that points to the local ssd hard, but now I don’t know how to config media cache sources.  
This is the first sample url of what client see in the web browser (in network tab) :

```auto
https://stream.mydomian.com/vod/_definst_/smil:1569665314_NAwlyTJWVl.mp4.smil/playlist.m3u8?wprefixendtime=1578911879&wprefixstarttime=0&wprefixhash=qDhFacWIyoZttbG-gm9a9N7TfJf1zpwLLq9MOO-IrPw%3D&wprefixuserid=0&wprefixstore=8&userid=0&store=8&product=2456&producer=1&avfile=0&promo=4580&length=92&price=0

```

Then chunklist file and ts files will be served.  
The content file is located somewhere in **/var/nfs-share** (it has separated directories for trailer videos and non-free videos)  
so now how should I config media cache source?  
Thanx a lot.

Here is a really great Media Cache guide that may help you @Mohammd Mousavi that has several examples for playback as well as several config examples.

If you don’t find a solution there, you can submit a support ticket where we can help set up the proper path for you. It would require more access to your files and complete config to properly assist you.
