Trouble with Low Latency with the Wowza CDN

Wowza Streaming Engine

I am testing low latency streaming with Wowza Streaming Engine and the video player hls.js. I have used the following guide for setting up a Wowza application and I successfully streamed with about 5 seconds of latency using time.gov as a reference.

With the same setup I created a Stream Target to push to the Wowza CDN (not the Wowza Cloud) but it won’t play and the Stream Target says there was an error.

My understanding is that this CMAF delivery method should be compatible with normal HLS and DASH but in some cases won’t have the low latency. Is there a configuration change I need to do to get it to work with the CDN or is low latency not supported at the moment?
