Hi,
can you please tell me if it is possible in anyway to remove sessionID from M3U8 playlists for iOS streaming?
Thanks!
There is no feature built-in to Wowza to do that. It is possible outside of Wowza or by some custom extension in Wowza.
Wowza as HLS origin may be a future feature of Wowza 3.

Hi,
thanks fo the reply. In which module is the sessionID add in Wowza? Perhaps it can be modified,etc.
When you say that it’s possible outside od wowza, what do you exactly mean?
Thanks!
It’s not supported in Wowza. I’m not sure how you would go about it. It is something you will have to work out, or wait until it is supported.

Take a look at this article:

Did you add it to the right container. /LiveStreamPacketizer /Properties container is toward the bottom of the file, it is not /Streams /LiveStreamPacketizers
And there are the other properties.
Re-start Wowza to be sure the app is re-loaded.

Is there any change in the last version of Wowza (3.5) regarding HLS sessionid?
Our CDN does not support Wowza sessionid and we have to use FMS instead if we cannot get rid of sessionid in Wowza.
When I set property httpRandomizeMediaName the playlist.m3u8 and manifest.f4m still include sessionid in the path:
playlist.m3u8
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2159322,CODECS=“avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2”,RESOLUTION=785x576chunklist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=632227639
manifest.f4m
ltv1-stream1.stream
785
576
video/mp4
live
streaming
AgAKb2…{{shortened}}
I can access the HLS stream if i refer directly to chunklist.m3u8 without sessionid.
Is this the correct way?
How to get something similar with HDS?
Where all this is documented?
