MP3 audio only HLS smil file example

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi everybody,

looking for help how to setup audio only smil files which will allow to stream mp3 audio files.

If I use mp3:sample.mp3/playlist.m3u8 the playout works.

If I use the same sample.mp3 and just wrap it into the following smil:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

and use this url smil:audiotest.smil/playlist.m3u8

it does not work.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Any hints are welcome.

You have two issues with your smil’s src:

  • missing opening quotes
  • missing mp3 qualifier

It should be src=“mp3:sample.mp3”. Without the mp3 qualifier, Wowza media parser considers the file to be mp4 which it isn’t.
