So I am using the smoothstreaming player that’s available at [https://smf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Embed%20Smooth%20Streaming%20Player](https://smf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Embed%20Smooth%20Streaming%20Player), and the stream plays, with drm enabled too, however I’d rather it not try to play as a DVR type stream if I use your sample player it doesn’t happen however with this player it does… any ideas?

Hi Doug,

What is the streaming URL that you’re using in your player? A DVR URL for Smooth streaming looks like this:

```auto
[B]http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/dvr/myStream/Manifest?DVR[/B]

```

-while a standard live stream (no-DVR) appears without the ?DVR URL query:

 

**```auto
http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/dvr/myStream/Manifest**

**```**

 

I would suggest dropping the URL query to see how the stream performs.

the url I am using is [http://wowza-ip-address:2195/live2/channel13a/Manifest](http://wowza-ip-address:2195/live2/channel13a/Manifest) no dvr in the coding at all. However it still behaves the same way.
