Method Details

init

void init(com.wowza.wms.mediacache.model.MediaCache mediaCache)

Initialize the context mapper. This provides the context for the instance of media cache being used.

Parameters:

MediaCache - mediaCache

getMediaNameFromContext

String getMediaNameFromContext(IApplicationInstance appInstance,
 IMediaStream stream,
 String basePath,
 String mediaName,
 String mediaExtension)

This is called each time a request is made into the MediaCache system for retrieval.

The input parameters provide a context of the request

appInstance - Application instance related to the client making the request
stream - IMediaStream object directly attached to the client
basePath - The current source base path the request will be services by. If this is empty then
             no source was found for the request
mediaName - The asset name with the source prefixed, such as http/mp4:sample.mp4. This would indicate
             the source with a prefix of http/ was being used.
mediaExtension - This is the extension of the asset, so commonly mp4.

The return parameter should be the mediaName needed to satisfy the Media Cache request. At this stage you can change/manipulate the mediaName to point to a different source, or even serve completely different
content if required.

If you do not want to do anything you can pass the mediaName directly to the output parameter.

Parameters:

appInstance -

stream -

basePath -

mediaName -

mediaExtension -

Returns:

String
