The <code>add2wowza</code> command is a custom written bash script written by Nathan Kadish. It simply automates the SMIL file creation for each new video. HD videos require four encoded versions, while SD requires 3.

HD: 1080x720, 1920x1080, 854x480, 640x360

SD: 480x360, 640x480, 720x540

The SMIL file simply lists the links to each encoded file, so this script takes the <code>BASE_NAME</code> and turns that into the given filename for the encodings. Ex - if the Board meeting file coming from LGX is "Board20170724" then when you create the encodings in Adobe Media Encoder you will want to add "_540p" "_480p" and "_360p" to the file names so when they are done, they look like "Board20170724_480p"

=== HD Videos (i.e Sports) ===
# Open Adobe Media Encoder
# Load the HD file you want added to Wowza
# Under the Encoding Presets look for the '''Wowza HD (16:9)''' folder
# Set the duration of the video under default preset
# Drag and drop the four presets under the '''Wowza HD (16:9)''' Folder
# Set the export path to \\10.130.10.50\WowzaShare\SETVOD\{CategoryFolder}\
# Open PuTTY
# Connect to Wowza Server
# type <code>cd /media/vod1/SETVOD</code>
# type <code>add2wowza video</code>
# Follow the prompts and copy the resulting link into wordpress

=== SD Videos (i.e. Board Meetings) ===
# Open Adobe Media Encoder
# Load the SD file you want added to Wowza
# Under the Encoding Presets look for the '''Wowza SD (4:3)''' folder
# Set the duration of the video under default preset
# Drag and drop the four presets under the '''Wowza SD (4:3)''' Folder
# Set the export path to \\10.130.10.50\WowzaShare\SETVOD\{CategoryFolder}\
# Open PuTTY
# Connect to Wowza Server
# type <code>cd /media/vod1/SETVOD</code>
# type <code>add2wowza video</code>
# Follow the prompts and copy the resulting link into wordpress

=== Problems ===
* I encoded the files, and created the SMIL file via add2wowza but the player says "404: File Not Found"
** Check the file names in the Wowza VOD folder,and that they have the "_720p"... appended
