I'm using Wowza with it's Dynamic Load Balancing AddOn (http://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaDynamicLoadBalancingAddOn_UsersGuide.pdf).
The load balancing mechanism works by giving you a single source URL for the stream which Wowza then redirects to any number of edge servers balancing the load. I'm using this load balancing feature for both RTMP (for desktop) and HLS (for iOS and Android).
Here is an example of the JW Player configuration working with the HLS redirect (works on both Android and iOS)...

...but none of the following work...

(file in playlist array element) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Xo0_914HqFRDduNjZ5UExrQlk/view
(sources array in playlist array element) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Xo0_914HqFSUpob3lrOGQ0Z0U/view
Each of those examples work when using the RTMP redirect URL or a direct (no redirect) URL for both RTMP and HLS but the HLS redirect URL does not seem to play nice with any configuration that permits multiple stream source entires.
I could not find an example online of a JW Player configuration that utilised Wowza load balancer redirect URLs for both RTMP (for desktop) and HLS (for Android and iOS) but I imagine this must be a relatively common scenario.
What am I doing wrong? How do I get JW Player to work with both RTMP and HLS redirect URLs?
