Hi, if I understand this thread correctly only the html5 streaming url requires a _definst_ before the subfolder name.

For eg, I have a subfolder with vod/sub with mp3 files

rtmpurl - rtmp://wowza/vod/mp3:filename

rtspurl - rtsp://wowza/vod/mp3:filename

but httpurl has to be [http://wowza/mp3:_definst_/vod/mp3:filename](http://wowza/mp3:_definst_/vod/mp3:filename)

This kind of makes it a bit inconsistent for integration. Rather than change url scheme based on where content is, we have to also do it based on whether content is in a subfolder and then vary by player!

To add to the inconsistency just using _definst_ for all the different players does not work.
