Hi,

I can re-stream unprotected hls stream using from wowza stream file (media caster type : applehls).  
But I can’t re-stream the following hls stream :

That stream is using CMAF for their HLS live feed. Wowza Streaming Engine does not yet support that format. Additional information on CMAF can be found in the articles below.

For additional detail you can use FFmpeg to analyze the input stream. You will see the live stream report "

compatible\_brands: iso8mp41dashcmfc" which uses CMAF.

```auto
ffmpeg -i http://yangon1.akamaized.net/live/19daddcf-0f46-4a14-988e-14bc15f03298/prod/playlist.m3u8 -codec copy -f mp4 -y out.mp4

```
