Streaming already stored .m3u8 from vods3 bucket

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I have a VODS3 application setup, from which I can stream through

RTSP

RTMP

HTTP

Protocols easily.

I want to do something different:

In case of HTTP protocol, right now I have this URL (example):

http://[ip]:1935/vods3/definst/mp4:amazons3/mys3bucket/vid.MP4/playlist.m3u8

Which play fine.

Now, I do not want Wowza to make variants of vid.MP4 and serve me through http protocol, I want to create segmented files myself and store them and the playlist on s3 bucket.

For example, the playlist I have on S3 is called: vc_49520_out.m3u8

which links to different .ts files:

vc_49520_out0.ts

vc_49520_out1.ts

vc_49520_out2.ts

which are also stored on s3.

I want to give this link to the player, and, want Wowza to start streaming based on the playlist ‘already’ stored.

Something like:

http://[ip]:1935/vods3/definst/mp4:amazons3/mys3bucket/vc_49520_out.m3u8

But, this does not seem to work.

Anyway I can get the stream this way?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community!

Wowza does the packaging for you so not sure if this is fully supported and will work. You might can try this on nginx server or web server to see if it works.

Hope this helps. If any further questions, feel free to contact us.

regards,
