Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS)

Creating an MSS Stream

From the local streams in EMS, issue the createMSSStream command:

Single Stream

General Format:

createMSSStream localstreamnames=<localstreamname> bandwidths=<bandwidth> targetFolder=<target_folder_path> groupname=<groupname>

For Windows:

createMSSStream localstreamnames=myStream bandwidths=51265536 targetfolder=C:\EvoStream\evo-webroot groupname=myMSSGroup

For Linux:

createMSSStream localstreamnames=myStream bandwidths=51265536 targetfolder=/var/evo-webroot groupname=myMSSGroup

The created files will automatically save in the targetFolder path.

evo-webroot:                            --> targetfolder
myMSSGroup                              --> groupname
- myStream                              --> localstreamname
-- audio                                --> audio_folder
--- 51265536                            --> bitrate_folder
---- XXXXXXXXXX000.fmp4                 --> audio_segment_file
---- XXXXXXXXXXXXX.fmp4                 --> audio_segment_file
-- video                                --> video_folder
--- 51265536                            --> bitrate_folder
---- XXXXXXXXXX000.fmp4                 --> video_segment_file
---- XXXXXXXXXXXXX.fmp4                 --> video_segment_file
- manifest.ismc                         --> manifest_file

Multiple Stream with Different Bitrates

To use multiple localStreamNames using one createMSSStream command do the following:

General Format:

createMSSStream localstreamnames=<localstreamname1>,<localstreamname2>,<localstreamnameX> bandwidths=<bandwidth1,bandwidth2,bandwidthX> targetFolder=<target_folder_path> groupname=<groupname>

For Windows:

createMSSStream localstreamnames=myStream1,myStream2 bandwidths=10000000,20000000 targetfolder=C:\EvoStream\evo-webroot groupname=myMSSGroup

For Linux:

createMSSStream localstreamnames=myStream1,myStream2 bandwidths=10000000,20000000 targetfolder=/var/evo-webroot groupname=myMSSGroup

The created files will automatically save in the targetFolder path.

evo-webroot:                           --> targetfolder
myMSSGroup                             --> groupname
- 10000000                             --> bitrate_folder_1
-- audio                               --> audio_folder
--- xxxxxxxxxx000.fmp4                 --> fmp4_audio_file
--- xxxxxxxxxxxxx.fmp4                 --> fmp4_audio_file
-- video                               --> video_folder
--- xxxxxxxxxx000.fmp4                 --> fmp4_video_file
--- xxxxxxxxxxxxx.fmp4                 --> fmp4_video_file
- 20000000                             --> bitrate_folder_2
-- audio                               --> audio_folder
--- xxxxxxxxxx000.fmp4                 --> fmp4_audio_file
--- xxxxxxxxxxxxx.fmp4                 --> fmp4_audio_file
-- video                               --> video_folder
--- xxxxxxxxxx000.fmp4                 --> fmp4_video_file
--- xxxxxxxxxxxxx.fmp4                 --> fmp4_video_file
- manifest.ismc                        --> manifest_file

Playing an MSS Manifest File

The corresponding link to play this stream would then be:

General Format:

http://<EMS_IP_Address:<Web_Server_Port>/<MSS_groupname>/<manifest_filename>

Sample URL:

http://192.168.2.34:8888/myMSSGroup/manifest.ismc

The player will now automatically play the stream once the MSS manifest is read.

Please see createMSSStream API for more details.
