HLS restream failed with most of the source M3u8

Trying to restream HLS sources using manual article: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-apple-hls

Tried with a lot of different sources. Only one semi-success attempt without sound from Akamai cached source.

In most of the cases received error:

CupertinoMediaCasterConnection.manifestUpdates: Manifest updates are stuck, shutting down stream!

In the logs there are no any suitable information, all the parts accessible but wowza is not functioning properly. See some log entries below:
