Question

HTTP VOD cached video

Hello,

We have a digital signage system that references a VOD stream.  Every week we that video changes, and the simplest method to update is overwrite the old video with the new video in the Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\webroot\vod directory.  Our digital signage system simply looks for the same .mp4 filename at scheduled intervals.  Our issue is for some reason it appears the Adobe Media Server is caching the VOD .mp4.  Even though the video has the same file name, the content is different.  But when played back through a web browser, it shows the old video.  If I scrub forward several minutes into the video, the correct content displays.  I've ruled out the digital signage system because I get the same results on several other computers.

    Do you have any caching ON on FMS server ? Also please try to playback after clearning the browser cache. Since the file name is same, you are requesting the same URL so it may have been cached in the browser cache.

    Yes I have cleared my browsers cache, and tried on several other computers with the same results.  So I think we can rule out that the viewing computers is not caching the content.  Were do I find the configuration for caching on the server?
