There are two types of Media Caches, Store and Source. Click on the +Add Media Cache Source to add a new Cache Source. Select the Server tab on the top bar to bring up the Server Setup screen.

We will configure the media cache with the help of the network share that we configured in the first part. By default, Wowza Streaming Engine Manager can be accessed by using the following URL: VOD Edge application uses media cache to serve the content. Login to the Wowza streaming engine server.

When another user views the same content, they'll initially get the cached content and then, after they get to the end of the cached content, Media Cache automatically starts caching the new content. If a user views a short portion of a video, only that portion is initially cached. Wowza Media Cache only caches the content which was actually requested. Regular Cache only caches content upon complete download, which proves inefficient for very large VOD files. The Media Cache feature in Wowza Streaming Engine is a read-through caching mechanism for VOD streaming. Before you do that, it is necessary to configure a Media Cache Source for our application to use. Wowza VOD Edge Application needs to be configured to use the Network Share created in the previous step. You need to perform the following while configuring Wowza streaming endpoints: To learn more about how to enable/disable encoding profiles, see: How to Manage Encoding Profiles in VIDIZMO.
