Hi all,
I’ve just tried to install Wowza Streaming Engine on a clean Ubuntu 16.04 instance (in AWS) and everything worked fine.
No installation error, Engine and manager started and running, everything seemed great.
So I’ve created a very simple VOD app, and tried the test player… it doesn’t play anything.
Checked the sample file is in the content folder, permissions looks fine… but no playback whatsoever.
Has anyone got that running ?
Are they documented issue with Ubuntu 16 ? I couldn’t find anything n the forum.
Cheers
Hello,
There aren’t any playback specific issues related to 16.04 that we’re aware of. Are you able to pull the stream playlist using cURL using a command such as:
curl http://[Server IP]:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8
or the following should return a blank page if a connection to port 1935 is established:
telnet [Server IP] 1935
If you cannot, you may want to ensure that a firewall is not blocking these attempts.
Best regards,
Andrew

Also, take a look at the logs and copy the log data that you get when you try to start playback.
