Hey ehuman, Here’s one way: [StreamClass Example with Playlists](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher) ---

This creates a live stream. You can use static content as the source, but it will be a live stream. VOD = Video On Demand. The scheduler can use static content (video/audio files) but it is not vod. If you want your users to play a file as vod, then switch to a live stream, this will not do that. If you want to interrupt a live stream periodically with the content from a static file, this will do that. Richard ---

Run Wowza in stand-alone mode (/bin/startup.bat) instead of the service so you can see what is happening: log output in the console. When you start Wowza you should see logging regarding this ServerListener, as Randal mentioned. Richard ---

This scheduler example works by the clock not a timer. It could be modified to use a timer, but as it is you would have to create a schedule that switched back and forth every 50 seconds by the clock Richard ---

The module affects the time the ad is played not the position. I don’t quite understand what you mean by page. You mean at the bottom of your web page? You would use HTML to position a flash player there. ---

1. See the steps for creating a live application in the beginning of one of the live tutorials, such as: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder) 2. You can paste that code into the Wowza IDE. Or you can download a compiled version as mentioned here: “A compiled version of this server listener is included in the Wowza Modules Collection. Download and unzip the collection, then copy /lib/wms-plugin-collection.jar from the package to the Wowza /lib folder. Then restart Wowza.” 3. From the article: To play open [install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]/live Stream: Stream1 (or Stream2. As set in smil file). ---

Look at the module code. You will see several logging messages like: log.info(“ServerListenerStreamPublisher Started.”); If you don’t see those messages in your Wowza console/logs then it is likely that the module is not being loaded. Check your Server.xml as per the instructions, and restart Wowza. What is the name of your live app? If you have [Wowza]/conf/live, then set the PublishToApplication like this: ```auto PublishToApplication live ``` ---
