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

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

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?

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.
