> Hi, > > I have pre-created chunks and static mpd playlist for MPEG DASH. Is there a way using which this can be achieved? Yes, actually. You can use Bitdash Player for example to play the files and stream them live or VOD. Bitdash communicates perfectly with Wowza. They have a non-commercial version to try. ---

Streaming pre-created .ts chunk files and static .m3u8 playlists is not currently supported by Wowza Streaming Engine. This is also a [duplicate post](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/46067), please refrain from posting the same question multiple times. Thank you, Salvadore ---

Let me rephrase the same :- I have pre-created chunks and static mpd playlist file instead of single mp4 file for MPEG DASH. can i use wowza to stream the chunks using that static mpd playlist? TIA ---

Smooth files seems to start to play in our silverlight player but an error message is shown " Caught exception trying to parse main manifest" The errors in the access log if the smooth files are in a subdirectory of content are that the file cannot be find ie it’s looking for the file one level up.
