Hi,

Assume we an application Test.

It points to some content folder.

We use: All types of supported streaming

We want:

1. Clients can play ONLY .stream files located at root folder.

2. Clients can’t play .stream files located at sub folders of content folder.

Any ideas appreciated

Hi there, I believe the StreamNameAlias AddOn will do the job for you here. You will want to use the aliasmap.play for your set up:

Hi,

Looking at your other posts on similar subjects, you should be able to do it using the IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider interface and the method [here](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/39683) to handle the .stream files correctly.

It is much easier if you try to keep similar questions in the same thread instead of creating a new thread for every question.

Roger.
