I have a working stream in VLC from Wowza 3.? Amazon AWS.
rtsp://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream
If I try to use this stream as an HLS file in VLC
[http://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8](http://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8)
I get an error in VLC :
main error: no suitable demux module for `http/://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8’
I can however play this file that I got from another post in VLC
[http://50.22.70.52:1936/live/Stream1/playlist.m3u8](http://50.22.70.52:1936/live/Stream1/playlist.m3u8)
In the end I’m trying to get the stream on a Roku Box.
thanks ~

Check the /conf/live/Application.xml /LiveStreamPacketizers. Add “cupertinostreamingpacketizer”, then restart Wowza to re-load the application

Do you have your Application configured for Cupertino streaming? Make sure you have cupertinostreaming and cupertinostreamingpacketizer turned on as described here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder#config](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder#config)

Please restart Wowza, start the stream and test playback again, then zip up and send /conf and /logs folders to support@wowza.com
Include a link to this thread.
Make sure you do the restart before test so we have concise logs and logging from current config and can see environment in startup lines.

@Tim, both were in place. In addition to smoothstreaming and sanjosestreaming . My StreamType is “live-lowlatency” not “live” as described in the post above. rtsp does work. Any other thoughts?
thanks all ~

In VLC I get this error …
main error: no suitable demux module for `http/://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8’
Should I be suspicious of “http/://” ? I’m entering “http:// …”
The same VLC player successfully plays the other HLC stream mention earlier
I’m using h.264 with AAC, mpegts . The steam works as an RTSP in VLC and through an Amino 130.

After retarting the Wowza server, checking to make sure rtsp worked, the HLC link now works in VLC.

Whatever you did (lol) I really appreciate it. Now on to the Roku …
Thanks~

None of the http streams are working at all for the live stream (including smooth and hds).
Would you post your Application.xml ?

Hi
When you attempt to play the stream what errors/log messages do you get?
What’s the codec being used for the stream?
For HTTP streaming you should be using H.264 video with AAC or MP3 audio.
