You have to use StreamType “live” (not “rtp-live”) and use StreamManager to start the stream. Take a look at this guide:

Assuming you are trying to re-stream from an IP camera and your app name is "rtp-live, and your IP address is 85.25.199.31, if the StreamType is set to “live” in the Application.xml file, and you have started the stream with StreamManager you should be able to play the stream with this URL:

```auto
http://85.25.199.31:1935/rtp-live/starcric.stream/playlist.m3u8

```

See this article for more info:
