All,

Is there a way to have the base URL for the m3u8 playlist use something other than the Wowza Server’s IP address? So now it is like

http://\<IP\_OF\_Wowza\>/live/prog\_index.m3u8?wowzasession…

File:

media\_10.ts?wowzasession…

I would like it now to be

http://\<SOME\_OTHER\_FQDN\>/live/prog\_index.m3u8?wowzasession…

File:

media\_10.ts?wowzasession…

Then the media segment file request would be

http://\<SOME\_OTHER\_FQDN\>/live/media\_10.ts?wowzasession…

Is this possible?

Jim

You can make the playlist relative.

For VOD: Application.xml /HTTPSTreamers /Properties

```auto
<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoRelativePlaylistPlaylists</Name>
	<Value>true</Value>
	<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

```

For Live: Application.xml /LiveStreamPacketizers /Properties

```auto
<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoRelativePlaylistPlaylists</Name>
	<Value>true</Value>
	<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

```

Wowza is not setup at present to use as origin for HLS streams, if that is where you are gong.
