We’re experimenting with using JW Player for streaming a live broadcast to iOS devices. We’re running a Wowza Streaming Server and have an H.264 stream.

Using the JWPlayer wizard, the following format RTMP stream works:

rtmp://xxx.com/live/mp4:stream

But the HLS stream address below, stops playing after 40s:

[http://xxx.com/live/_definst_/mp4:stream/playlist.m3u8](http://xxx.com/live/_definst_/mp4:stream/playlist.m3u8)

We’ve been testing with Safari 6.0, OS 10.7.5

I’m guessing the JWPlayer is not updating the playlist after the first play event?

Is there something else we should be doing to get a continuous live broadcast to playback?

Thanks!
