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.

smil file created according to the guide, but no video now
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.
