Hi tobias, Couple of quick questions;
If we are using red5 streaming can we drop downloads? We intend only to support streaming atm, so having the download distribution in our workflow seems like a misconfiguration. Or is download neccessary for streaming to engage? (E.g. Segment previews?) Second, our engage server has its own storage space, it's not shared with the workers/etc. In this configuration, any thoughts on why the workspace isn't being cleaned up? (And on top of this, should we add engage to the shared storage so it doesn't need to make its own workspace copy?)

In addition 3) In production environments, you won't usually serve downloads and/or streams from the box that is running your ui, because ui performance may seriously be affected by a peak in downloads or streaming. Instead, there is most often separate downlaod and streaming servers, and the two copies go to two different mounts, hence another reason not to use hard links. But as mentionend under 2), it is not possible anyway. On solution would be to write your own distribution handler wich puts a copy somewhere an then creates links to your set of distribution folders.
