Stream Splitted Videos in form of continous Stream

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi ,

I have a requirement .

I have multiple videos with 30 mins duration.

Videos starts and ends at below time slots.

Video1.mp4 6:20 - 6:50

Video2.mp4 6:50 - 7:20

Video3.mp4 7:20 - 7:50

Now Client has requested to stream video from 6:30 to 7:00.

So i need to forward 10 mins first video i.e 20 mins Video1.mp4.

Then after for rest of 10 mins i need to automatically stream the second video i.e Video2.mp4.

Please help me how to achieve this.

Regards

Hi,

Using the ServerListenerStreamPublisher you will be able to play the stream will be called “Stream1”.

To apply the requirements listed above the .smil file should look similar to the one below.

<smil>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <stream name="Stream1"></stream>
        
        <playlist name="pl1" playOnStream="Stream1" repeat="false" scheduled="2015-01-12 16:00:00">
            <video src="mp4:Video1.mp4" start="600" length="-1"/>
            <video src="mp4:Video2.mp4" start="0" length="600"/>
        </playlist>
    </body>
</smil>

You will need to change the “scheduled” time to suit the time you would like the live stream to begin.

If using the “live” application, playback would have a Stream URL like the one below using using an Apple HLS client.

Shyam, can you please tell us why this wont work for you as this is the method for achieving what you describe.

Did you just not get it set up correctly or is it not the desired result you were looking for?

Hello, this configuration requires the application type to be Live. So you will need to change from a VOD application to a live application.

See if that one change gets this working.

Kind regards,
