Hi,

I can manually setup a media cache from Wowza web interface and locate a remote video files as HLS streaming source on Wowza. Would anyone help to comment following questions? Thanks in advance.

1. Could I use Wowza SDK to make Wowza to run as a http serve to receive the http request including the remote path of video files?

2. Based on the above remote video file path, could I use Wowza SDK to dynamically generate a media source like I manually did it?

3. Would Wowza provide the API like “curl” or I just use standard Java Http API to get “curl” result?

B. R.
