title: Streaming from Wowza to an iOS app using playlist.m3u8
body: <p>I'm using Wowza media server and stream an On-Demand MP3. When I stream the url directly from Safari - it plays just fine. When I try to use <code>AVPlayer</code> it just doesn't work. The code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>let item = AVPlayerItem(URL: NSURL(string: "http://192.168.0.23:1935/vod/mp3:hot160.mp3/playlist.m3u8"))
  let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: item)    
  player.play()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Excuse the code, it's actually <code>Swift</code> instead of <code>Objective-C</code> but the concept is just the same. It doesn't play at all and I get a console message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RTCReporting: resolve from http://pancake.apple.com/bags/hls?version=5.9
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have no idea what that is.</p>
