Streaming MP3 via HLS not working

Hello,

We’re trying to stream MP3’s via HLS, but all it seems to is load and load and load, then the following error is in the log:

WARN	server	comment	2013-05-09	13:43:21	-	-	-	-	-	0.126	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	127.0.0.1/files/file.mp3	MediaReaderH264.open[2]: java.lang.Exception: QTUtils.parseQTMediaContainer: File is missing 'moov' atom.

We’re using the following url:

[HTML]http://[wowza-server]:1935/vod/mp3:/files/file.mp3/playlist.m3u8[/HTML]

Any ideas what could cause this or how to fix it?

Thank you!

Take out the forward slash after the mp3: prefix, and add “definst” since the .mp3 file is in a subfolder:

Cool. You’re welcome. Thanks for the update.

Hi Richard,

That did the trick, now we get:

Picture data in MP3 file is too large for iOS device playback: limit:256k size:269467

Which is what we’re expecting for this particular file. Thanks so much!
