There is necessity to remove wowzasessionid from chunklist.m3u8

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hello,

Is it possible to configure Wawza some way for remove “wowzasessionid=session_id” from the link like http://server_ip:1935/app_name/stream_name/chunklist.m3u8?

Thanks!

I think the HTTP origin configuration does that:

It is only available in 3.5+

Right, sorry for the flip-flop, I had to re-visit. Should be no wowzasessionid.

Configured for HTTP origin, the chunklist.m3u8 file looks like this

Does this feature available only in Wowza Media Server 3.5 & high or in Wowza Media Server 3.1.2 too?

Thanks!

Actually, I don’t think it does remove the wowzasessionid. And it is only available in 3.5+

I’ve just checked it on test server (Wowza 3.5) and now chunklist.m3u8 doesn’t have wowzasessionid=number.

Khm… I’ve reinstalled Wawza 3.1.2 and when httpOriginMode == on, chunklist.m3u8 has wowzasessionid=number, but when httpOriginMode == off, chunklist.m3u8 doesn’t have wowzasessionid=number…
