Directory tree under media folder - is it possible

Hi All,

I am using SMIL file for managing f4v files:

<smil>
    <head>
        <meta base="rtmp:/vod/" />
    </head>
    <body>
<switch>
  <video src="mp4:intro_300.f4v" system-bitrate="300000"/>
  <video src="mp4:intro_500.f4v" system-bitrate="500000"/>
  <video src="mp4:intro_700.f4v" system-bitrate="700000"/>
  <video src="mp4:intro_1000.f4v" system-bitrate="1000000"/>
  <video src="mp4:intro_1500.f4v" system-bitrate="1500000"/>
        </switch>
    </body>
</smil>

It works fine, as long as I keep all f4v files under vod/media/ default folder. I need to organize somehow a structure of my media as it is over 400 files. How can i do this? I tried:

1) creating directories under vod, i.e. vod/test1 with  <meta base="rtmp:/vod/test1/" /> and placing f4v files directly in test1

2) the same as above but placing f4v files under vod/test1/media/

it doesn't work. is there a way of placing individual f4v files into different directories under vod/ root?

Please, advise.

thanks

Andy

    Instead of doing all those combinations, keep you .smil file as it.

    Place your media files wherever you want them to be and just configure all those locations in Application.xml of your VOD application.

    Say for example you want to have media files in "test1" and "test2" folder under media folder of VOD, you can do following, Open Application.xml and do following changes

    <Streams>/;<FMS Installed Directory>\applications\vod\media\test1</Streams>

    <Streams>/;<FMS Installed Directory>\applications\vod\media\test2</Streams>

    So your Application.xml would look like this:

    <Application>

    <StreamManager>

    <VirtualDirectory>

          <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.   -->

    <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>

    <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>

    <Streams>/;<FMS Installed Directory>\applications\vod\media\test1</Streams>

    <Streams>/;<FMS Installed Directory>\applications\vod\media\test2</Streams>

    </VirtualDirectory>

    So no need to change your .smil file , you can get it working it this way.

    It doesn't work. Probably there are some more settings we are missing here
