Cupertino URL ends in /playlist.m3u8. http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/mp4:extremists.mp4/playlist.m3u8 See this guide: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming) Cupertino streaming to Safari desktop only works on Mac OSX Snow Leopard or higher. A direct link will not work, you must open HTML page with video tag: ```auto Cupertino Streaming ``` Richard ---

Cupertino streaming to desktop only works on Mac OSX Snow Leopard or higher using Safari browser loaded with html5 video tag. There’s a little flexibility there, it can be more recent than Snow Leopard. Richard ---

Richard Thanks for the help. I have tried what you asked but I am getting an error in the Server debug window which says stream not found vod/mp4:extremists.mp4/playlist.m3u8 Is this a path problem? Moonraker ---

Richard I am now not getting error in the debug window and the player is starting once I open the html file in the safari browser but no video. Is this because I need to be on a MAC OS and not Safari in Vista? The server is giving the following debug, which suggests that it is streaming properly. Am I correct?
