How to get a 404 not found when stream file is unavailable

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

I use WowzaMediaServer 3.5.2.

On my VOD platform, I would like to receive a 404 not found when a video doesn’t exist.

Currently when I send this kind of request:

http://iphone.myurl.com/vod/definst/nofile.m4v/playlist.m3u8, I receive a HLS playlist but this list is empty.

Is-it possible to configure Wowza to not send a playlist and reply by a 404 not found ?

One of my customer, make a test on his environment with his own Wowza server (4.0.3). According to him, he received a 404.

Is-it a new feature on the version 4 ?

Thank you for you help,

Valarko

I’d suggest giving it a test on your end using the latest version of Wowza (use your R&D license from your account portal under the “My Downloads” section) as I believe it should return 404 in the latter versions.

Thanks,

Matt
