How to schedule streaming with Wowza Streaming Engine

I am trying to schedule a playlist on a Wowza server, so that videos get played successively (like a TV channel). I started following this tutorial :

http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?145-How-to-schedule-streaming-with-Wowza-Streaming-Engine-%28ServerListenerStreamPublisher%29

In /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Server.xml I added this in ServerListeners :

<ServerListener
   <BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.serverlistener.ServerListenerStreamPublisher</BaseClass>
</ServerListener>

In /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Application.xml I added this in Modules :

<Module>
  <Name>streamPublisher</Name>
  <Description>Schedules streams and playlists.</Description>
  <Class>com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.module.ModuleStreamPublisher</Class>
</Module>

I created a smil file in /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/content/ana.smil containing this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<smil>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>

        <stream name="live"></stream>

        <playlist name="pl1" playOnStream="live" repeat="true" scheduled="2013-09-25 16:00:00">
            <video src="mp4:sample.mp4" start="5" length="5"/>
            <video src="mp4:sample.mp4" start="50" length="5"/>
            <video src="mp4:sample.mp4" start="150" length="5"/>
        </playlist>
    </body>
</smil>

I rebooted the server...

Now I was expecting to see the stream coming to my Application "live through the Stream called "live"... But nothing shows.

I guess I missed a step, maybe adding streamPublisherSmilFile property as said in Wowza link I posted above ... But where do I set that ?

Thanks for you help. Regards, John

Solution

You need to add both the Server and Application Properties

Server Properties

/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Server.xml

 <!-- Properties defined here will be added to the IServer.getProperties() collection -->
<Properties>
   <Property>
      <Name>...</Name>
      <Value>...</Value>
      <Type>...</Type>
   </Property>
</Properties>

Application Properties

/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/{APP_NAME}/Application.xml

Eg: for the live app:

/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/live/Application.xml

  <!-- Properties defined here will be added to the IApplication.getProperties() and IApplicationInstance.getProperties() collections -->
<Properties>
   <Property>
      <Name>...</Name>
      <Value>...</Value>
      <Type>...</Type>
   </Property>
</Properties>

You also need to copy the module .jar file from the add-on collection to:

/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/lib

And then restart Wowza.
