Hi all -

Trying to implement VOD with .m3u links for viewers.

It worked in 3.03, but is not working in 3.4.2

here is the link I am providing:

http://IPADDRESS:1935/vod/mp4:filename.mp4/playlist.m3u8

Users report:

video says cannot load error message

mimetype not supported

the operation could not be completed - on 1st gen devices

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Can you describe the stream settings?

1: Video and Audio codec?

2: Frame Rate

3: Bitrate

4: Keyframe interval(GOP length)

For iOS devices, video should be H264, audio should be ACC. If mp3 then the settings should be 44100Hz, 128kbs.

Profile should be set to “baseline”. A GOP length of 2 seconds is recommended.

You can look at this chart to see what frame size to use based on fps.

You can use JW Player 6 for HLS streaming to the desktop and HLS devices.

JW Player 5 or 6 I can use either one.

I am sorry, I made the assumption you were talking about iOS devices. Can you specify which client you are using for playback?
