There currently is no way to do what you want to do server-side.

OK thnx

Is there anyway I can combine two 3gp files over rtsp??

As in first play file1 then automatically play file2?

For example using an overload of onRTPSessionCreate

thnx

How about using the addRTSPStream method of the RTPSession object?

</div>

When using the addRTSPStream of the RTPSession object

I get the following error:

WARN server comment - RTSPCore.setup: track missing: trackID=1

WARN server comment - RTSPCore.setup: track missing: trackID=2

Can anyone help!?

Thnx

Any forecast on this feature in new releases??

It would make our customers happy because we then can do preroll ads on RTSP based clients…

Thnx

Not for video on demand application.

The stream class, and the scheduler example, provide a way to stream files as live streams, and you can combine that way:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher)

But this is a live stream, it will not start from the beginning. It can run in a loop, but users will see it in progress.

Try that, see if it works. Let me know if it does.
