This should not matter. What player are you attempting to use? Wowza Server 3 now uses relative playlist URLs which is what Apple suggests. There is more information here:

Tharanga,

Saving the playlist is not supported for playback. Wowza will packetize live and on demand streams as necessary.

You can easily download .ts chunks if they are not encrypted, but there is nothing built-in to Wowza to facilitate that.

Hello Charlie,

Is there anyway we can turn it to absolute? I see it is working fine on my ipad2 with relative url but we are developing application and we want app to work with absolute url.

Please accept my apologies. I see you have already pointed me to right document.

Thanks a ton.
