WCS Server VOD

[Nobuyasu Tanaka]

Tested VOD. If you copy mp4 to the ~ / media folder and perform
a playback test, playback on the player will not be smooth. Is this
also set?

Good day.
First, your mp4 file should not contain B-frames. This can be checked with ffprobe, for example

ffprobe -show_frames file.mp4 > report.txt

If the report file contains

pict_type=B

then you should re-encode mp4 file to play it smoothly.
WCS does not support B-frames in any stream published. See also VOD known issues.
Also, your channel bandwith should allow to play the stream from mp4 file, otherwise it can be played unsmoothly. For example, if you try to play 1080p file with bitrate 10 Mbps, your channel between WCS and playing browser should be good enough for the stream to pass. You can test the channel using iperf as described here.
