Video on demand playlist

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

I want to create a playlist with a set of videos in my “content” folder but I don’t know how to.

I mean, “Simple Video Stream” of Wowza has a textfield where you enter the stream (i.e: mp4:sample.mp4) but what if I want a bunch of videos (or audios) to be played?

Does .smil files have something to do with this?

Thank you!

The only vod playlist at present only works in Flash RTMP client. There are two ways to implement.

Server-side:

Flash RTMP client-side:

netstream.play("video1",0,-1, true);
netstream.play("video2",0,-1, false);
netstream.play("video3",0,-1, false);

You can refer to the examples folder where Wowza is installed, each has a /client and some of /clientFlex examples. Start with LiveVideoStream and SimpleVideoStream /clientFlex/src/player.as, because it is a text file you can open without Flex. To edit and compile these you can use Flex Builder. The /client examples require Flash CS development tool to edit the source .fla file.

Could you put a link to a tutorial or something explaining the client-side code?

Because I don’t know how “netstream.play()” works.

Thanks!
