Just curious, the scenario is like below 1. user sign up with our VOD portal 2. user buy vod plan 3. user sees a video listed in his dashboard in background 1. system automatically create a temporary url for newly bought video 2. url should lasted only some period say 24 hours Since I’m not good with java, here’s is my thinking 1. md5() + hash insert unique id into subscriber vod table 2. create the folder under /vod/ and softlink to actual video file 3. cron job run every 5 minutes and running the cleanups ( deleting folder ) Will this achieve what I am planning ? Will wowza auto detect the newly created app folder without restarting ? ---

Wowza will recognize new app without restarting. There are a lot of useful examples some of which should help you, here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/basic-modules-and-code-samples](https://www.wowza.com/docs/basic-modules-and-code-samples) Richard ---
