Playlist live stream for videos(mp4) using REST API

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hello! I’m new using Wowza

I write this post because I could not find the answers for may questions.

I need to create a playlist of videos (in mp4 format) everyday for 8 hours. I need to get just one url to send to my app clients( mobile, desktop) and with the media player play this videos is like a tv channel.

I was reading about StreamPublisher to do this approach, but in my scenario I need to create a custom applications to make the schedule and playlist(private application).

I wonder If Wowza has a REST API to do this scenario.

I have wowza running in a Azure VM.

Do you have some links or examples?

thank you!

Hi Ricardo,

We don’t have any examples of building your schedule and playlist, but the structure of the scheduler file is quite simple, examples of which can be found in the StreamPublisher article. The schedules can be reloaded once modified by the client using a simple Flash call, again an example app is included in the StreamPublisher article.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Simple flash call and the sample app is cool, but can we do this with REST API?

Thank You!
