Hi everyone,

I want to set up wowza Application, when user play an VoD, they will watch an advertising video before watch the VoD which they choose.

I can not use wowza schedule module because I want every time user play a VoD, they must watch my advertising Video.

How do I do the work on serverside for both HLS and rtmp?

Thank a lot.

Please take a look at this module to see if it fits your needs:

This guide includes a client-side work-around for iOS:

No, there is no way to do this server-side for non-Flash clients at present.

Hi Salvadore,

Is there any way, Wowza support for me, to custom playlist of HLS on server-side?

Thank a lot.
