Hai

I have wowza 2.2.4 on linux configured for cupertino ios streaming (from live sample in wowza distr) on port 80

ex. playlist URL [http://wowza.ltd.com/ios/250k\_stream.sdp/playlist.m3u8](http://wowza.ltd.com/ios/250k_stream.sdp/playlist.m3u8)

but i see this:

```auto
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=250000
http://wowza/ios/250k_stream.sdp/playlist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=1869773344

```

want this:

```auto
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=250000
http://wowza.ltd.com/ios/250k_stream.sdp/playlist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=1869773344

wowza server is behind NAT with publication

Hi

You can choose an absolute or relative url in Wowza 3 which should solve this problem.

Once you have upgraded to Wowza 3 take a look at this tutorial,

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-switch-between-absolute-and-relative-urls-in-apple-http-live-streaming-playlists](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-switch-between-absolute-and-relative-urls-in-apple-http-live-streaming-playlists)

This may be a bug in Wowza 2 however no bug fixes are going into Wowza 2 anymore so to have the url displayed as you have requested an upgrade to Wowza 3 is required.
