I want to set some custom HTTP headers to every request when using medicaster applehls to ingest an HLS stream. Is there any way to do that? ---

To insert headers when pulling in HLS via the applehls MediaCaster: it’s not possible to do that currently and is a feature request in backlog. Please feel free to ask in Hire a Consultant forum if anybody is able to build this for you. If so, they would work out a 3rd party contract for the work with you and it’s not associated with Wowza. ---

@Rose_Power-Wowza_Com Oh really, what a pity! Thank you, anyway.
