You cannot re-stream video on demand over rtmp. This will not work the way you are trying to use it: ```auto rtmp://[wowza-address]/AddVideo/mp4:sample.mp4 ``` Use MediaCache instead for video on demand: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache) For live rtmp streaming, you can use an Application with StreamType “liverepeater-edge” to re-stream live rtmp stream. [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-live-stream-repeater](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-live-stream-repeater) Use an Application with StreamType “rtp-live” to re-stream rtsp: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming)) Or, instead of liverepeater-edge or rtp-live, you can use StreamType “live” in both cases then start the stream with StreamManager with MediaCaster type “liverepeater” or “rtp” [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-stream-manager-in-wowza-media-server-3](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-stream-manager-in-wowza-media-server-3) Richard ---

Restreaming vod from RTSP will not work either: ```auto [COLOR="red"]rtsp://[wowza-address]/vod/mp4:sample.mp4[/COLOR] ``` Follow the guide included with the MediaCache package, which does not have anything like above. Richard ---

Respected Sir , I have got MediaCache\_2.0.zip file by mail link, I have try rtsp to rtmp is not running , so Hence , Further i try rtsp to rtsp: means – i created ravi.stream file in which i wrote rtsp://[wowza-address]/vod/mp4:sample.mp4 and try to play on vlc player the following link rtsp://[wowza-address]/rtplive/ravi.stream then it’s play but when again i try this link on another or same system on another vlc… then video is not start from starting rather it start from where , there first vlc video is currently running. So how to solve out this problem , with using of MediaCache package . Give me right way ???
