I use an “http://://\/playlist.m3u8” URL, and if I enable console logging I see it performing… wowzaplayer.js:20 GET https://://\/playlist.m3u8 net::ERR\_SSL\_PROTOCOL\_ERROR It fails to play because it can’t negotiate the TLS/SSL. Is there a way to not use HTTPS? ---

Can you please confirm if this is for Cloud or Engine so I may send the correct instructions? ---

Not sure what that question means. I’m streaming live cameras from a Wowza server. I have a web site that serves up pages with the Wowza player embedded. Neither the web site or the Wowza server are delivering info over SSL/TLS. ---

I’ll add that if I use video.js it works fine. ---

I need to edit the above comment. I have a web site with other players embedded (VLC, video.js, jwplayer, Flowplayer). I used the Wowza Player Builder to test the Wowza player and it changed my HTTP URL into HTTPS as shown in the initial post. ---
