Hi guys. Inspecting my applications created in Wowza Streaming Engine Manager I’ve noticed that some applications display the option to configure the SMIL file like this one:

But others, doesn’t display this option. I want to know how to enable it when it doesn’t shows.

Live HTTP Origin applications don’t show the SMIL option; you can’t enable this, it’s related to the application type. You can still create an use SMIL files but you’ll either need to create a Single Server application that uses the same Streaming File Directory (default: /content) or you’ll need to create them outside of Wowza Streaming Engine and upload or copy them to the Streaming File Directory
