Hi there,

I would like to play some videos based on EPG. Every hour I’m recording the content. For example: 12:00, 1:00, 2:00,3:00

If I need to play the vod from 12:15 to 1:15, what exactly i need to do

Hi Grager,

You can create a [Stream class playlist](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-switch-streams-using-stream-class-streams), and add the 12:00 recording as a playlist item, but with a start time of 15 minutes. The second item can then be added with a duration of 15 minutes so that it only plays back up to 1:15. Your playlist would look something like:

```auto
playlist3.addItem("mp4:12.mp4", 900, -1);
playlist3.addItem("mp4:13.mp4", 0, 900);

```
