Hi,

When I am playing back the video which is running in wowza streaming engine (i.e when I am trying to load the url

[http://192.168.1.20:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8](http://192.168.1.20:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8) using mpmovieplayercontroller in ipad, it is playing fine. But there is more than 20 seconds delay in playing video.) Please help me to avoid this delay time. Thanks in advance.
