Hello,

I want to stream a URL in HTML5 video player but it is not working. I can play it with VLC in both computer and android mobile but not in an html5 page.

This is how I’m trying to stream it:

[HTML]

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

[/HTML]

Hello elshorbagy76,

Can you try playing it in a different HTML5 player, something like [bitmovin](http://bitmovin.com/hls-mpeg-dash-test-player/)

I tested your HLS stream and it plays just fine there.

Regards,

Alex
