How to rename or rewrite the media playlist name

The media playlist name is “{StreamName}/chunklist.m3u8” by default.

Is there a way I can rename or rewrite to “{StreamName}.mp4.m3u8”.

I will post an answer I received from the Wowza support.


At this time it is not possible to modify the name of the chunklist reference used in the playlist request response. This is a feature that is not supported. I don't have any information on when or if this will become available in the future.


I reviewed the custom modules we have published, and there does not seem to be one for this type of use. You can review more details about available API options for creating a custom module for Wowza Engine here: https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-java-api-overview I am also providing a list of Wowza Independant Consultants which you can reference and contact to further discuss creating a custom module and what is possible.
