Hi,

What is the content of your resulting playlist.m3u8 file?

What do you get when you download the [http://192.168.10.119:1935/live/smil:test.smil/playlist.m3u8](http://192.168.10.119:1935/live/smil:test.smil/playlist.m3u8) file?

Are you using your JWPlayer with an iOS device or on a desktop computer? Which JWPlayer license are you using?

Apple HLS streaming is supported for the desktop web based player only for the Premium and Enterprise JWPlayer license types.

Hi there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

Have you worked through this guide:

[How to use JW Player with adaptive bitrate streaming from Wowza Streaming Engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-adaptive-bitrate-streaming-from-wowza-streaming-engine)

Hi,

Did you enable/configure your Transcoder addon following the instructions from the “[How to set up and run Wowza Transcoder AddOn for live streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-transcoder-for-live-streaming)” forum article?

Also, take a look at the “[How to use JW Player with adaptive bitrate streaming from Wowza Streaming Engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-adaptive-bitrate-streaming-from-wowza-streaming-engine)” article, as Salvadore mentioned earlier. I think you can find some useful instructions in there.

Hi,

thx for your reply

@Zoran.

the content are from tvheadend with vlc

command:

vlc -vvv “[http://192.168.10.120:9981/stream/channelid/25](http://192.168.10.120:9981/stream/channelid/25)” --sout “#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=192.168.10.119,port=5500,mux=ts}”

I get a blank site in the browser.

i’m using the JWPlayer with a Win 7 Computer / Firefox.

I have a free license of JW Player.

Other Point.

I see in enginemanager / group the active streams.

for test.smil group is only test.stream\_source activ. other profils are waiting for streams

in group test.stream\_all are all streams activ.

thx

romina
