Question

Cannot get HLS Live streaming to work

I'm struggling to get things going on the HTTP live streaming side.

I'm using FMLE 3.2 w/ Flash Media Server 4.5.

Format: H.264

Frame Rate: 29.97

Bit Rate: 800Kpbs

Profile: Main

Leven: 3.1

Keyframe Frequency: 4 Seconds

I'm streaming to:

FMS URL: rtmp://hostname/livepkgr

STREAM: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent

I have verified the stream is working by connecting via flash to

rtmp://<HOST-NAME>/livepkgr

livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent

I can't get the stream to play in iOs/Safari. I've been trying using the instructions via this doc (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725dfa0-8000.html)

If I try to access the following file: http://<HOST-NAME>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8 I get FILE NOT FOUND.

Looking on the FMS machine under /opt/adobe/fms/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent is see no files other than Event.xml and Manifest.xml

So...it seems like no stream is being created in the livepkgr. What can I do to troubleshoot?

    1. Check Event.xml is fine. Open in a browser and see its a valid file.

    2. Check livepkgr application error logs. You may find them in opt/adobe/fms/logs/_defaultVHost_\livepkgr\_definst_ . See if it reports anything wrong.

    3. Check core logs inside logs folder. Does it report any error.

    4. In case you have touched Event.xml, I would suggest just provide stream name as "livestream" .. Don't associate any event. Check whether stream is being building at /opt/adobe/fms/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/livestream. In that case, you can subscribe to

    http://<HOST-NAME>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream/livestream.m3u8             (in case event is not specfied, an event with stream name is created)

    5. Check whether application.xml inside livepkgr folder is fine (same test as in step 1)

    6. Check if you have configured any virtual directory setting for the livepkgr application.

    #1 Fails (see below)

    I get a 404 not found.

    http://<HOST-NAME>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/Event.xml

    http://<HOST-NAME>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/readme.html (test file I created)

    Sounds like the hls-live alias isn't working? Off to check Apache. That alias is supposed to be set up by default isn't it?

    Hi,

    Did you make sure the applications directory and the sub dirs are having sufficient privileges to write files to disk ? The livepkgr application records files on to the disk and if it does not have the required permissions, it fails, even when your live stream works on RTMP. Please take a look at this and see if that helps you.

    Thank you !
