If I only want Wowza to create an Apple HLS stream, where do I define that RTMP streaming should be disabled?

Hi there, you can change the /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /Client /StreamReadAccess from “\*” to empty, remove the asterisk.

Access to the stream over RTMP will be denied. HLS will still be available.
