**Wowza Streaming Engine - Media Cache**

Hello Wowza Community,

I’m currently trying to setup a Media Cache for media files.

Here are some setup information:

I’m running a Linux (CentOS) Server that generates the SMIL files and stores them on a NFS share.

```auto
/mnt/vod/‹SMIL files›

```

These SMIL files refer to the media in a sub dir

```auto
/mnt/vod/player/‹media files such as mp4›

```

* * *

The WSE has the same mount:

```auto
/mnt/vod/

```

In the WSE Manager I created a Media Cache as described in [Scale video-on-demand streaming with Wowza Streaming Engine Media Cache](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache).

For testing I use the default Media Cache **Store** : “default”

```auto
${com.wowza.wms.context.ServerConfigHome}/mediacache

```

As a Media Cache **Source** I put the following config:

Name:

```auto
test

```

Prefix:

```auto
player/

```

Base Path:

```auto
/mnt/vod/

```

* * *

Then I created a **VOD Edge Application** as follows:

Name:

```auto
test

```

Playback Types:

- MPEG-DASH
- Apple HLS

Options

- Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) enabled

Media Cache Source

```auto
test

```

Closed Caption Sources

- all enabled

Now my problem is, that there are no SMIL files detected. The result of course is that I cannot test any stream.

* * *

I hope you can help me.

Kind regards,

Marcello
