Hi Team, I have followed below article to setup Wowza with Cloudfront. [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-integrate-your-wowza-ec2-instance-with-cloudfront](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-integrate-your-wowza-ec2-instance-with-cloudfront) I have created two distribution at Cloudfront. One with signed url and one without singed url. Cloudfront distribution where signed url is disabled, HLS stream is working fine. However Cloudfront distribution where signed url is enabled, HLS stream is not working and giving below error at VLC. Cloudfront auth is getting passed successfully.

Hello, Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community See this note in the article you mentioned ```auto At this time, live streams can't be delivered securely by using CloudFront-signed URLs due to the nature by which player applications generate URL requests for the live stream data. However, progressively downloaded media can be delivered privately by using signed URLs. For more information, see Serving Private Content through Cloudfront. ``` The URL needs to be progressice download for a signed URL to work with Cloudfront. Hope this helps. If any further questions, feel free to reach out. regards, Jermaine
