AMS5 Std vhost vod signed apps

Hello, I face a rather odd issue with the vhost on AMS Std. Whenever I try to change the signed vod app’s Application.xml <Streams> tag to point to alternative media location, I get this message:

Tue 07:24:51 PM: Invalid configuration file : {path}\vod\Application.xml

Inside the <Streams> tag I change the path to a physical one, not the one with the pound sign. Either way, I get the same message back. Moreover, when trying to modify ams.ini with the custom path, I get an error message as well. The <Streams> tag in Vhost.xml is blank. It turns out that the signed app can only digest _defaultVHost_ paths. How could this be resolved?

Thanks.

Hello again, I think some further studying needs to be done in here – I never changed anything since the time it worked, and now it’s not working again with the same message – Wed 11:59:50 PM: Invalid configuration file : c:\path\vod\Application.xml. what could that be?


Petro - i am considering this thread as closed as we reached resolution via private discussion. Just for information of other users - it was misconfiguration issue.

Can you paste your Application.xml - probably you are not setting things right. You should be able to configure Application.xml Virtual Directory settings to pick media assets from locations desired by you.

Hello Rudresh, tell you what – every time you post a response in the forum the software just starts working by some magic J. Ok, so the setup that I’ve described actually works. I guess it didn’t originally work (I never changed anything) is that AMS needs some time to update some state as per vhosts. So the setup is as follows: vhost.xml - . Along with that, I’m facing another issue with a duplicate vod signed app – e.g. myvod. Application.xml inside that dir was updated accordingly but the streams fails to play, is there a reason for that?
