Is it possible to get the individual HLS stream URLs from the streams transcoded in the Wowza Cloud? For example, the “master.m3u8” link below provides all the individual stream names and seems to play well in JW Player using its built-in adaptive features.
http://wowzaprodhd9-lh.akamaihd.net/i/XXXXXXXX_1@XXXXX/master.m3u8
In that file are the individual stream URLs as shown below.
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=437000,RESOLUTION=320x180,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"
http://wowzaprodhd9-lh.akamaihd.net/i/XXXXXXXX_1@XXXXX/index_448_av-p.m3u8?sd=10&rebase=on
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=625000,RESOLUTION=512x288,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"
http://wowzaprodhd9-lh.akamaihd.net/i/XXXXXXXX_1@XXXXX/index_640_av-p.m3u8?sd=10&rebase=on
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=913000,RESOLUTION=640x360,CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2"

However, for other players that can only play individual stream URLs, do these individual HLS stream names always follow this same format as in the “master.m3u8” file (see example below)?
http://wowzaprodhd9-lh.akamaihd.net/i/XXXXXXXX_1@XXXXX/index_[BITRATE]_av-p.m3u8
We are wondering if we can reliably “build” these individual HLS URLs based on the primary “master.m3u8” URL using some sort of format as above (i.e. replace “master.m3u8” with “index_[BITRATE]_av-p.m3u8”).
Thanks =),
