Hello, I’m trying to create smil file with the REST API (wowza 4.2). I follow the instruction here : [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-curl-to-query-wowza-rest-api](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-curl-to-query-wowza-rest-api) and I managed to create a new application without problem. But I can’t create a smil file with this call : POST /v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/{appName}/smilfiles/{smilfileName} ```auto { "restURI": "http://XX.XX.XX.XX:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/cdn/smilfiles/myfile", "serverName": "", "smilStreams": [ { "systemLanguage": "en", "dur": "", "ngrp": "", "keyFrameOnly": "", "src": "myfile_750.mp4", "systemBitrate": "", "serverName": "", "videoCodecId": "", "type": "video", "version": "", "audioBitrate": "44100", "audioCodecId": "", "videoBitrate": "750000", "restURI": "", "isWowzaCaptionStream": "", "videoOnly": "", "audioOnly": "", "width": "640", "saveFieldList": [], "idx": 0, "begin": "", "wowzaCaptionIngestType": "", "height": "360" }, { "systemLanguage": "en", "dur": "", "ngrp": "", "keyFrameOnly": "", "src": "myfile_1100.mp4", "systemBitrate": "", "serverName": "", "videoCodecId": "", "type": "video", "version": "", "audioBitrate": "44100", "audioCodecId": "", "videoBitrate": "1100000", "restURI": "", "isWowzaCaptionStream": "", "videoOnly": "", "audioOnly": "", "width": "1272", "saveFieldList": [], "idx": 1, "begin": "", "wowzaCaptionIngestType": "", "height": "720" } ], "saveFieldList": [], "title": "myfile", "version": "1434975987" } ``` I have this result ```auto {"success":false,"message":null,"data":null} ``` Can you provide a working example of this call please ? Thanks ---

Hello You’ll want to ensure you define the restURI and be case sensative. Here was a quick test that was successful for me (testing against 4.2.0) ```auto curl -X POST --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/smilfiles/mytestsmil -d' { "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/smilfiles/mytestsmil", "smilStreams": [ { "systemLanguage": "en", "src": "myfile_750.mp4", "systemBitrate": "50000", "type": "video", "audioBitrate": "44100", "videoBitrate": "750000", "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/smilfiles/mytestsmil", "width": "640", "height": "360" }, { "systemLanguage": "en", "src": "myfile_1100.mp4", "systemBitrate": "50000", "type": "video", "audioBitrate": "44100", "videoBitrate": "1100000", "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/smilfiles/mytestsmil", "width": "640", "height": "360" } ] }' ``` Thanks, Matt ---

Hello, Thanks Matt ! Your example is working for me. It seems that systemBitrate is a mandatory field ---

What version of Wowza are you using? Ensure you are on the latest and that the smil file doesn’t already exist. Restart Wowza and try again. If the problem remains, please zip up your conf/ and logs/ and include your curl command and result in a ticket submitted [here](https://www.wowza.com/portal/help/engine). Thanks, Matt ---

The first version includes, for now only the PHP version. FUNCTIONALITIES: Create plain live application. Create secured live application. Delete live application. Delete all live applications.
