    Hi,

    It is possible. If you have your vod files under <root_install>/webroot/vod folder then you can stream the content via HTTP as :

    http://<server-ip>/hds-vod/<media-file-name-with-extension>.f4m - for flash player

    http://<server-ip>/hls-vod/<media-file-name-with-extension>.m3u8 - for iOS devices

    You'll find some sample files in that location that you can try with.

    Please also note that you'd require a crossdomain.xml under <root_install>/webroot.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other queries.

    Thanks,

    Apurva

    I mean vod content is located at some http adress, not on fms server. I wonder fms can reference an http adress for its vod content and cache the remote content and service it both as rtmp and http streaming ?

    What you can do is map the content folders to your network address from where content needs to be served.

    For RTMP :

    In the fms.ini file: set the VOD_DIR2 = <network_path>

    For example : VOD_DIR2 = \\<ip>\myvideos

    In the Application.xml of vod application add :  <Streams>;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>

    This will then look for the content in the network path.

    Similarly for HTTP streaming you can change the Content location :

    Under httpd.conf in <root_install>/Apache2.2/conf look for hds-vod and change HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod" to some other path like HttpStreamingContentPath "C:/myvideos"

    Same way you can put in a network address.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
