Hi Team,

Can I change playlist.m3u8 to something else such as master.m3u8 in HLS URL?

For example I’ve got HLS URL :

http://[wowza server address]/live/smil:channel.smil/playlist.m3u8

I want to rename it to

http://[wowza server address]/live/smil:channel.smil/master.m3u8

Would that be possible in Wowza version 2.2.4?

Many thanks,

Irwan
