Anyone out there using Wowza to deliver HLS to the roku? If you are, are you utilizing a CDN? (specifically Akamai)

We are curious to see what solutions others have come up with to deliver content over a CDN with Wowza.

Shouldn't really be an issue. We found it to be pretty laggy with the multiple hops however.

Wowza and http streaming on akamai is not that difficult. Wowza segments the incoming video and writes to a local directory. You need to define the path of this in the config for the stream application to write to akamai netstorage. Obviously you would have a net storage account with akamai. Then simply use the URL to the net storage playlist.m3u8 that the Roku calls.. Hope this helps.

We were under the impression that Wowza was storing the segments in memory, but did end up getting this work by writing a Sinatra App that will rewrite the playlist files to reflect our CDN url.
