Hi there, We would like to playback multiple files as one playlist (with total duration) on iOS devices. We call this a sequential playlist.

Bauke, This is not supported at present, but it will be in a future release of Wowza. I don’t have any time-frame. Richard

This is still anticipated, a future feature, but still no time frame. Richard

Is such a feature already implemented now?

This feature has been requested many times in this forum, and is already for a very long time on the list. Please, is there a more concrete indication regarding timeframe or priority?

This is not currently supported. But it will be in a future version of Wowza I do not have a time frame.

+1 for also wanting this. Has anyone managed to find a workaround for doing client side seamless playlists? We’re experimenting with using two players and swapping the z-indexes then manually building a timeline.

There is an answer for this ?? it is possible now?

This was fixed in 4.6.0 @carlos rios see the release notes for that version. Added support to the Akamai HLS stream target for adding the EXT-X-ENDLIST tag to the end of the media playlist when the source times out or disconnects. This is enabled by adding “cupertino.addEndListOnDisconnect”:“true”…

Thanks Rose. In fact this is important to do… and I certainly will use but the question here is about discontinuity… or this two are related ?
