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: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-switch-between-absolute-and-relative-urls-in-apple-http-live-streaming-playlists](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-switch-between-absolute-and-relative-urls-in-apple-http-live-streaming-playlists) Chalrie ---

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

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

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. ---
