Hi, Wowza support,

I have set up an vod channel and see there is a chunklist.m3u8 address in playlist.m3u8. And TS files are contained in chunklist file.

I am curious for how to config so that there will only Ts files ,not chunklist file in playlist.m3u8. So our test client can work well with Wowza.

Thank you!

BRs,

Vincent

You can refer directly to the chunklist, if that is what you mean:

```auto
http://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/[stream-name]/chunklist.m3u8

```

In recent versions of Wowza you can get a chunklist directly like this:

```auto
http://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/[stream-name]/chunklist.m3u8

```

The above in a browser will display a list of chunks with a wowzasessionid generated for that request.

In versions older than 3.1.2 (not sure which patch) you have to get a wowzasessionid first with a playlist.m3u8 url like this

```auto
http://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/[stream-name]/playlist.m3u8

```

Then replace with the generated wowzasessionid, in your case it would have been:

```auto
http://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/[stream-name]/chunklist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=920331959&httplivecheckindex=0

```

When I get access to the chunklist.m3u8. Wowza return response like this

```auto
 #EXTM3U
 #EXT-X-VERSION:3
 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=572079,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=424x240
  chunklist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=920331959&httplivecheckindex=0

```

Actually, what I want is below:

```auto
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:13
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1
#EXTINF:11,
media_1.ts?wowzasessionid=1222817623&httplivecheckindex=0^M
#EXTINF:12,
media_2.ts?wowzasessionid=1222817623&httplivecheckindex=0^M
#EXTINF:11,
media_3.ts?wowzasessionid=1222817623&httplivecheckindex=0^M
#EXTINF:11,
media_4.ts?wowzasessionid=1222817623&httplivecheckindex=0^M
#EXTINF:10,

#EXTINF:13,
media_6.ts?wowzasessionid=1222817623&httplivecheckindex=0^M
#EXTINF:11,

#EXTINF:13,

#EXTINF:10,
media_10.ts?wowzasessionid=1222817623&httplivecheckindex=0

```

Is there any need to change Wowza configuration? Thanks!
