Hello there, What version of Wowza are you running? The proper request filter is built-in with Wowza Streaming Engine software and Wowza Media Server software (version 3.5 and later) and no further configuration is required for the Wowza server. Also, be sure to restart the server after modifying the VHost.xml file. Take a look at this guide for streaming adaptive bitrate through JWPlayer: [How to use JW Player with adaptive bitrate streaming from Wowza Streaming Engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-adaptive-bitrate-streaming-from-wowza-streaming-engine) You should be using a URL that follows this format: ```auto http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/[application]/[prefix]:[stream-name]/jwplayer.smil ``` So for example: ```auto http://[server-ip]1935/stream/lidor/smil:myvideo.smil/jwplayer.smil ``` I hope this helps.

How are you generating the different renditions for this stream? Are you using the Wowza Transcoder? What is the Application name you are using? According to the URL this is “stream” with the app instance named “lidor”? Lets say for the sake of clarity, the application name is “live” with the default app instance “_definst_” the source stream is “lidor” and you are playing back a .smil named “myVideo.smil”. This would be the URL: ```auto http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/smil:myVideo.smil/jwplayer.smil ``` I hope this helps. Salvadore ---

it still doesnt work for me. when i go to this link “[http://IP:1935/stream/lidor/smil:myVideo.smil/jwplayer.smil](http://IP:1935/stream/lidor/smil:myVideo.smil/jwplayer.smil)” it shows me this: > This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. so it is like doesnt get the from the smil file. and in the player itself it gives me an error: “Manifest not found or invalid.” also in my jwplayer.smil file there is this line > i think maybe the problem is the src? im trying to live stream with this, not VOD. please help ---

Thanks!
