If user request playlist.m3u8 before straming is started, wowza cache an empty playlist and serve it.

I’m trying to use the cupertinoCacheControlPlaylist inside the HTTPStreamer properties, and not having any better results.

I’m using Wowza Streaming Engine 4 Subscription Edition 4.7.6 build2018073119081, in origin mode and a custom module to alias the publish stream name using IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider2.

How to not cache the playlist.m3u8?

Apparently i fixed this by using:

```auto
<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoAllowNotFoundOnEmptyMediaList</Name>
	<Value>true</Value>
	<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

```
