We would like to use adaptive San Jose HTTP with mediacache and the content server is an standard conf apache server.

all file can be pull from originhost

[http://originhost/video.mp4](http://originhost/video.mp4)

[http://originhost/video2.mp4](http://originhost/video2.mp4)

[http://originhost/ios.smil](http://originhost/ios.smil)

it is working pretty well with this URL, it will pull the mp4 file from c1 (apache configred in mediacache)

it works prefectly for file base mp4 file.

```auto
http://wowzahost:1935/MyApplication/_definst_/mp4:c1/video.mp4/playlist.m3u8?uid=1

```

```auto
http://wowzahost:1935/MyApplication/_definst_/mp4:c1/video2.mp4/playlist.m3u8?uid=1

```

but no luck on SMIL…

```auto
http://wowzahost:1935/MyApplication/_definst_/smil:c1/ios.smil/playlist.m3u8?uid=1

```

Here is the ios.smil content.

this format also not working …

The SMIL file can work if I don’t use mediacache. Any idea? I believe the main problem is wowza don’t generate the SMIL file and return MediaList is empty.

The error log from wowza is the following.

The origin HTTP server has the files: [http://OriginHost:8080/MediaFile.smil](http://OriginHost:8080/MediaFile.smil)[http://OriginHost:8080/MediaFile\_640.mp4](http://OriginHost:8080/MediaFile_640.mp4)[http://OriginHost:8080/MediaFile\_2048.mp4](http://OriginHost:8080/MediaFile_2048.mp4) This Flash URL works for me: [http://WowzaHost:1935/mediacache/](http://WowzaHost:1935/mediacache/)definst/mp4:http/OriginHost:8080/MediaFile\_2048.mp4/manifest.f4m This does not: [http://WowzaHost:1935/mediacache/](http://WowzaHost:1935/mediacache/)definst/smil:http/OriginHost:8080/Me…

Got updated from staff. it might due to the MIME type. but config it, it seems no change.

Is the .smil file alongside the .mp4 files on the web root referenced by c1? If not, that’s where it should be. If so, remove c1/ from path in smil, because it is relative to the smil, like this:

```auto
<smil><head></head><body><switch>
<video src="mp4:video.mp4" system-bitrate="200000" />
<video src="mp4:video2.mp4" system-bitrate="400000" />
</switch></body></smil>

```
