when using the Jmeter Streamer Plugin (HLS Plugin) in a distributed setup (master/slave), I'm getting an error message an no tests are run.

Any ideas what the issue could be? The master/slave configuration seems to be ok, as i tried this successfully with a simple http-request sampler. I'm assuming the issue is related to the Streaming Plugin, but just assuming ...
