Hi,

I need to adapte this module [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-java-api-calls-to-resolve-smil-file-requests](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-java-api-calls-to-resolve-smil-file-requests) .

The module works when I use a VOD application.

If I test it with a VOD Edge application (media source S3 storage). the module don’t work because the basePath is set to a local directory.

Do you know, what should I change in the script to be able to use a S3 source ?

Thanks for your help.

Hello!

Thanks for contacting Wowza Forums!

Here is an article on setting up a remote location for content retrieval. [HERE](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache)

Once configured, there is a S3 configuration.

Regards,

Jermaine
