This is a known issue with Wowza Streaming Engine **v4.4.1**. All other Wowza versions seem not to be affected and therefore the solution is to simply use another Wowza version. You can also download the 4.4.1.01 patch at <http://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/wowza/WowzaStreamingEngine-Update-4.4.1.01.zip> . **Update:** Wowza already released version **v4.5** of their streaming engine, which contains the fix.
