Hi,

Assume we have 3 chunks:

chunkA.mp4

chunkB.mp4

chunkC.mp4

We want to stream all these chunks as a one recording.

Is it possible?

Any ideas appreciated,

thanks

You use a [server-side playlist](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-insert-a-pre-roll-or-mid-roll-for-video-on-demand-playback-in-flash-rtmp-client), but this only works for RTMP clients.

You can stream files as live streams using Stream class streams, and that can be played back in all clients. But the vod server-side playlist above only works in RTMP clients.

To stream files as live you can use Stream class streams. [This scheduler](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher%28server-listener%29) makes that easy.

To seek in a live stream, you have to use the [nDVR addon](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-ndvr-for-live-streaming).

Richard,

Assume I will stream as live streams.

But what will happen to seek functionality of a player?

Thanks
