Question

Problem opening hds-live http stream

Hi. I've been following this tutorial on how to stream from FME to FMS. I have http streaming to an apple device working fine, however when I try to open the hds stream from strobe media player here, I get: "We are having problems with the playback. We apologize for the inconvenience."

I have followed the same naming convetions in the tutorial, so the stream URL I want to play is: http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m

I am using FMS 5 (trial version), and I remember I had this working with FMS 4.5.

When I open the stream URL from the browser, I get the below, which seems to be as expected.

<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">

<id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent</id>

<mimeType></mimeType>

<streamType>live</streamType>

<duration>0</duration>

<bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.bootstrap" id="bootstrap1185"></bootstrapInfo>

<media streamId="livestream" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream" bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap1185">

</metadata>

</media>

</manifest>

I would appreicate some help with getting this to work. I'm puzzeled as to why the same URL with hls and m3u8 works, but not this one.

Thanks,

Sebouh.

    Have you placed crossdomain.xml in the webroot folder. Please check the apache access logs to find what request is failing without 200 error code.

    The problem was the missing crossdomain.xml file. Strange that it worked on iOS though.

    Thanks a lot for your support.

    Where can I find more info about this file?

    This is sample one that allows everything

    <?xml version="1.0"?>

    <!-- http://www.adobe.com/crossdomain.xml -->

    <cross-domain-policy>

      <allow-access-from domain="*" />

    </cross-domain-policy>

    You can store it in webroot with name crossdomain.xml

    Please be sure about the implications. This allows from all domains to subsribe to your streams. Edit it as per your need..
