streaming engine appends session ID to chunklist

[George_Parniev]

hello

We have Wowza streaming engine 4.2 installed

Our playlist.m38u for a live application contains the following strings:

#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-VERSION:3

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2289245,CODECS=“avc1.77.40,mp4a.40.2”,RESOLUTION=1920x1080

chunklist_w1125079258.m3u8

And the number appended after the chunklist is always different. our provider asked us to have it always the same. Is it possible to remove the ID appended to the chunklist and have just chunklist.m3u8 in the playlist file?

Hi,

The session ID is there to enable all clients to have their own streams. It is possible to configure Wowza as an HTTP Origin server and in that case the session IDs are not used. This is commonly used with CDNs so that content can be cached for all clients. Note that enabling it will disable some services that rely on session state. You can read more about this mode in this article.

Regards,

Paul
