I have problem with hls redirection. RTSP redirection works fine, but when i try HLS it doesn’t work. Url which i use
```auto
http://loadbalancer_ip:1935/red/edge1/streamname?scheme=m3u8
```
I changed redirect to red in configuration, this is not problem. I am using Origin-Edge, Load balancer is Origin and Edge server, Edges are load balanced
Thanks for help

Hi,
We would need to see the output of your logs to be 100% as to the caus, however a bug was introduced in a recent release which has now been fixed, so please do make sure you are using the latest download.

Hi,
Once the redirection takes place, the streams will be requested by the players and will go directly from edge to client player.

Hi,
If you have 180 live streams being published on your origin server and each stream is encoded at 2Mbps, and you are relaying all these streams on your edge server, then between your origin and edge server you will need 180 x 2Mbps + 15% IP overhead which will give you about 400Mbps.
If you are looking only at 1 stream in particular, then yes, between the origin and edge server you will have 1 connection of 2Mbps for that particular stream, while on the edge server you will have 5 outgoing connections of 2Mbps each (5x2Mbps).

I succeeded, i need to use link
```auto
http://LOADBALANCERIP:1935/red/edge1/streamname.stream?scheme=m3u8
```

Hi, i need question about Load Balancer and Origin Edge configuration.
I have origin server which will be load balancer too. I will have 2 edge servers which will handle connections. As far as i know, Client use ip addres of origin server, load balancer redirect them to the one of edge servers. My question is, will traffic go to the user through origin server, or directly from edge to client?

Ok, i have another question about origin - edge configuration. I have around 180 channels which will be on origin. I suppose that all streams are streamed to edge. I have question about bandwith. For example if 5 users request same stream of 2mb bitrate, will bandwith from origin to edge be a 2mb or 10mb?
