Thank you for your reply Richhard.

The HLS bug I’m talking about is outlined in this thread: [Google TV and HLS streaming](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/34689). Would love to use the Roku instead, but alas, I’m in Spain, need to support the devices available on this market.

But this is not about HLS, and not really about Google TV either. It’s about RTSP in general, as it doesn’t work on android devices (Nexus 4 test) or VLC. While HLS is nice and easy, its inherit latency isn’t ideal for live streaming of certain events like sports.

Any pointers to what I might be doing wrong with this stream? Or suggestions to what protocol I should be using for more latency-critical stream?

Thanks,

Magnus
