Question by edgardo rodriguez · Dec 10, 2013 at 10:46 PM · live streaming and encoders

HLS Live Streaming ABR stops after 30 seconds

0 down vote favorite

I am testing FMLE with 3 streams for ABR, i send them to wowza and then play on jwplayer 6, to get the Adaptive Bit Rate selection, i created a manifest with the 3 streams, but when i play it stops after 30 seconds, on IOS, and desktop browsers. I tried to play on VLC and it plays for 1 minute, after that it stops. Here is the manifest i created

EXTM3U

EXT-X-VERSION:3

EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=850228,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=640x480

http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxx1/chunklist.m3u8

EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=438990,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=640x480

http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxx2/chunklist.m3u8

EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=273076,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=320x240

http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxx3/chunklist.m3u8

I read about the manifest should point to the prog_index.m3u8, but the prog_index.m3u8 of each one of the streams shows only 1 chunklist.m3u8, what am i doing wrong?

Hello,

Please take a look at this article to correctly configure your Wowza server for adaptive bitrate delivery to JwPlayer: http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?343-How-to-use-LongTail-JW-Player-with-adaptive-bitrate-streaming-from-Wowza-Media-Server

Also, you can find more information about Apple HLS adaptive streaming in this article as well: http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?546-How-to-do-adaptive-bitrate-streaming

Thanks for your answer, the server looks to be fine, and i follow the guide from jwplayer 6, the ABR RTMP plays fine, and the single m3u8 streams too, the problem is only when i play the manifest i created for the HLS ABR, maybe i have something wrong on the manifest?

You have to create a .smil file as shown in the ABR guide. You point to each published stream in the .smil file. Wowza does the rest.

Re-start Wowza and test playback again. If not working, zip up the /conf folder and the current access log showing Wowza re-starting and your test to support@wowza.com. Also send the .smil file. Include a link to this thread for reference.
