Playlist from video

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

I’m trying to set up a Wowza Streaming server for one of my clients and I need a way for creating playlists.

I need that playlists will start at specific day and hour (ex. 2017-08-12 08:00).

That playlist would be composed by local video (that are in the /content folder).

I tried creating a .smil playlist like this:

<smil>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>

  <stream name="Stream1"></stream>

  <playlist name="pl1" playOnStream="Stream1" repeat="true" height="288" width="512" length="5">
 
 <video src="mp4:sample.mp4" start="0" length="5"><param 
name="videoBitrate" value="743000" valuetype="data"></param>
   <param name="audioBitrate" value="96000" valuetype="data"></param>
  </video>
  </playlist>

  </body>
</smil>

and I put it on /content folder along with other videos.

I want to stream to MPEG DASH.

I don’t know which URL pass to the html5 video player (I’m using bitmovin).

Also I tried following this guide

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher

but without success.

What I don’t know is:

Do I need vod or live application for what I’m trying to achieve?

Thanks for taking time to answering my question.

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community

You are using the right article. You need a live application for that setup. If you can provide your /conf and /logs and SMIL files, we can assist. You can open a ticket HERE

regards,

Jermaine
