Dynamic smil file with videojs and wowza for HLS

Question

I am using wowza with amazon ec2 and I uploaded one smil file in amazon for testing. For videojs flash player, I am able to do multiple bitrate Http live streaming(HLS) using video-js-swf plugin and a smil file. For all videos I need to create smil file and have to upload to amazon, and it takes lots of time.

Is there any way to use multiple rendition files only(without creating smil file and upload to amazon ec2)?

Answer 1

I removed wowza server configuration and created script which generates m3u8 and ts files using ffmpeg from mp4 files(which is having different bitrate videos). We can directly add this m3u8 file in the video src(in web app). This will play http live streaming in ios and android devices.

i'm not sure if it answers your question, however Wowza has the following feature:
