Hello.

I have working wowza and videofile (about 8 hours length) sample.mp4 in content/SubDir/EndDir. I want to show the part of this file - for example a piece which starts on the 35 minute of the full length of the file sample.mp4 and ends on the 1 hour and 25 minutes. So, full duration of this piece would be about 50 minutes.

What kind of URL I have send to VLC to start play this stream? Maybe something like this: http://[server-address]:1935/vod/_definst_/mp4:SubDir/EndDir/sample.mp4:start=1800:length=3000:repeat=false/Manifest? Or another one? Help me please with this problem.

Thanks!
