m3u8 file location
Hi,
Where is located the m3u8 file used for live HTTP Streaming ?
The url is http://[server_addres]/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8
But I can't find the playlist.m3u8 physical file.
The reason I want to find it is that I want to setup multiple bit-rate streams.
According to Apple specs, I should setup a static file which contains something like :
Index file :
Then I must make that file accessible through a URL like http://[server_addres]/live/indexFile.m3u8
I think I'm missing some information on the best way to do it.....
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I don't understand the issue. If you use SMIL files it will create a adaptive bitrate playlist.m3u8 just as yiu are showing above. The SMIL information is used to generate the intermediate playlist with the multiple renditions. Just use the URL:
As long as the SMIL file describes all the streams then it will produce the correct intermediate playlist. The playlist.m3u8 is never saved to disk. It is availe up HTTP request from the player.

Hello.
I am sorry to retake this thread... So there is or not a physical playlist.m3u8 file? it there really exists? and using http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/smil:[smilfile]/playlist.m3u8 where is that file on the server folder tree? @Charlie Good
Thank you!
You won't find them. They are well hidden. What you can do is replicate them.
Hi, I have the same problem and I didn't find the solution on the related link, Adaptive Bitrate over HLS standard include a custom index playlist and if we use "smil" method we won't be applying HLS.
Please somebody help us, we want to use a play list like:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=200000
http://[server_addres]/live/myStream20/playlist.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=311111
http://[server_addres]/live/myStream31/playlist.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=484444
http://[server_addres]/live/myStream48/playlist.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=737777
http://[server_addres]/live/myStream73/playlist.m3u8
which points to different playlist files with different bit rates.
Please help with this issue.
