Microsoft Smooth Streaming on demand without a web server

I'm building a mobile app and the app streams videos using ExoPlayer for Android. My idea is to use smooth streaming for streaming media files.

The app will only stream videos clips that I upload to Amazon S3 bucket myself so I do not need real time encoding or anything.

I'm using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 to encode my media files.

So my idea is to encode media files manually on my local computer and upload them to S3 bucket and serve via CloudFront.

I have figured out that .ismc file contains manifest details.

Would this really work?
