So, I’m trying to load an HLS stream from wowza into jwplayer6, the m3u8 file exists, works – you can load it with VLC and play the stream fine. WHen trying to load from the flash player however, the request fails with the Access-Control-Allow-Origin error. wowza is on [stream.domain.com](http://stream.domain.com). The crossdomain.xml file (both at [stream.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml](http://stream.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml) and [stream.mydomain.com:1935/crossdomain.xml](http://stream.mydomain.com:1935/crossdomain.xml)) allows \*.domain.com, but when trying to load the playlist into the player, the crossdomain.xml request is ignored… ```auto XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://stream.mydomain.com:1935/vod/mp4:/path/to/working/video.mp4/playlist.m3u8. Origin http://members.domain.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. ``` Is there a way to modify the header that wowza sends to add one for: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: \*.domain.com Since the player seems to be ignoring the crossdomain.xml files? It seems that somebody has done it here, but I am not sure how to replicate this: > [@Possible to add HTTP header to the playlis and mainfest requests](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/37658): > > Is it possible to add a HTTP header to the playlist and manifest requests? I’ve done some testing with a HTTP proxy between and custom headers that I’m trying to keep for the whole session get lost on the playlist/manifest requests. If that is not possible - can I set a “server wide” header for all HTTP respones? Tried all I could find in IHTTPStreamerCupertinoVODActionNotify2, IMediaListProvider, IMediaListReader and then onHTTPSessionCreate etc… but they are all called after the first playlis… or here: > [@Accessing Connection Count XML Information - Cross-Domain](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/35704): > > I’ve written some javascript (using jquery) that will access the wowza server’s built-in connectioncounts information. It takes this XML information, cleans it up, and displays the information in an easy-to-read HTML page. Everything works great – on the localhost (on my personal computer)… but as soon as I place the HTML and javascript on an actual server (using Amazon S3 in this case) it doesn’t work. I’m assuming there is a crossdomain issue. I have the crossdomain.xml file in wowza’s conf … Thanks ---

You do need app instance when there is a path to content, and remove the forward slash after the mp4: prefix. These might be the only problems. Like this: ```auto http://stream.mydomain.com:1935/vod/_definst_/mp4:path/to/working/video.mp4/playlist.m3u8 ``` Are you using JW Player 6? Have you seen the example (first one) here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-wowza-streaming-engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-wowza-streaming-engine) Are you trying to run JW Player in iOS device, is that where you are getting these errors?

I’m not sure what you mean. Can you make it simpler? I have not had to do anything with crossdomain.xml to use HLS streaming in JW Player 6 [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-wowza-streaming-engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-wowza-streaming-engine) Richard ---

It works fine on IOS, if I grab the m3u8 path, it works in VLC player too. The issue is in flash, the m3u8 is on a different subdomain and the request to retreive it gets declind because the cross domain header is missing (even though the crossdomain.xml file is there).
