Protected Live HDS breaking HLS - bug?

We started working with Live Streaming and have had pretty good success (FMS 4.5).  When we enabled HDS protection (for HDS only). However when trying to access HLS Live feed we get an error: "mod_hlshttp [500]: Packaging error 4 (Invalid message type) when processing /hls-live/streams"

When turning off HDS protection, HLS again works fine.

We've enabled PHDS in both Application.xml and Event.xml with the same results.  For now we've had to disable PHDS.

Has anyone else had this issue?

    Please refer this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS47c0525fe440307e-685173b213221ed709a-8000.html#WSae20eaa80bf61251-a7c4697131e35dad0f-8000

    Above link would help you understand why its not working. Basically HLS needs unencrypted stream and when PHDS is on - the data on disk in encrypted and HLS module responible for HLS Streaming does not understand that content. So you need to publish to two different applications so that you can make PHDS and PHLS(or HLS) work together.

    Hope this helps - let me know if you have further queries.
