Streaming chunks of video source

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I am very new with Wowza and want to ask is it posible if i can using wowza for streaming not full source video, but some of chunks of it.

For example, from 30 to 40 seconds.

I read this article - https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-a-play-start-time-and-duration-for-http-streaming,

but it’s not so usefull for me.

I need to stream VOD with mpeg-dash.

I learned content of .mpd file, it’s contains URL of all chunks that video player get, is it right?

Could i edit .mpd file in order to video player get only chunks that i need?

Thanks.

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

Please take a look at this scheduler, which allows you to choose when the stream will start (time and date), at what point in the video the stream will begin and the duration the stream will play.

How to schedule streaming with Wowza Streaming Engine (ServerListenerStreamPublisher)

I think this is the functionality you are after?

Kind regards,

Thank you for your feedback.

I’ll try to describe the problem in more detail.

For example, there is one vod application with video duration 1 hour and there are 3 clients who can watch this content.

But, first client just has access to a 0:00-0:20 minutes, second client - 0:20-0:40, last client - 0:40-1:00.

Are there ways to limit access to chunks of video for this clients?

Thanks.
