Any chance you can zip up a repro?

One thing I noticed is the a that the generated code for player has the source format url from a GoCoder Source as something like:

“sourceURL”:“http%3A%2F%2F192.168.0.2%3A1935%2Flive%2FmyStream%2Fplaylist.m3u8”,

versus what you have. What is your source? I can also look into if a custom renderer is needed to support invoking javascript from C# perhaps?

Nice work. You gave me an idea to create some content on using the player in a WebView for Xamarin Forms. Also, we are looking at building a GoCoder SDK wrapper for Xamarin Forms just to let you know. I have successfully built a prototype binding library and have broadcast from Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS. It is a start, but we have a ways to go yet. If you still want to send me your sample code as a starting point for an upcoming lab exercise it would be appreciated, my email is [russ.fustino@wowza.com](mailto:russ.fustino@wowza.com) (you can delete all the obj and bin folders, so it will be tiny) Thx @pankaj rajput

I found the error  
“license”:"[PLAY1-_ **-** _-_ **-** _-JMh4b]"  
in iOS it accepting key as an array while in android it accepting it as a string

“license”:“PLAY1-_ **-** _-_ **-** _-JMh4b”  
“sourceURL”:“rtmp://18.216.122.26:1935/live/PE-0118-00028/playlist.m3u8”  
is working for me
