Setting up AMLST module for HLS playback

Scott_Nelson · September 9, 2020, 8:16pm

I’m generating AMLST via module. DASH is working just fine. Trying to get HLS working and need help in setting this up correctly in my module for AMLST.

Here is a snippet from my module for a particular single rendition (I have 7 total):

MediaListRendition rendition150 = new MediaListRendition();
segment.addRendition(rendition150);

rendition150.setName("mp4:"+streamName+"_150.mp4");
rendition150.setBitrateAudio(96000);
rendition150.setBitrateVideo(252000);
rendition150.setWidth(320);
rendition150.setHeight(180);
rendition150.setAudioCodecId("mp4a.40.2");
rendition150.setVideoCodecId("avc1.66.12");
            
WMSProperties properties150 = rendition150.getProperties(true);
            
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_AUDIO, "aac");
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_GROUP_ID, "aac");
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_NAME, "English");
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_LANGUAGE, "eng");
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_TAG, HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAG_TYPE_MEDIA);
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_DEFAULT, HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_VALUE_YES);
properties150.setProperty(HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_TAGS_AUTOSELECT, HTTPStreamerCupertinoIndexPlaylist.SMIL_VALUE_YES);

This works for DASH fine, but when I get the manifest for HLS, it’s not working for players.

Here is the URL for a sample file on my Wowza server (this should be valid for about a week from this date):

http://107.182.228.209:1935/public-vod/amlst:Big_Buck_Bunny/playlist.m3u8?streamID=af58ed0a-41f7-4875-ac88-a6e1761e8b2b

I’ve tried playing this here with no success: https://www.hlsplayer.net/

I’ve also tried playing that in VLC with no success.

If I GET the manifest in Postman, this is what’s returned:

#EXTM3U

And then inside a given chunklist, I get this:
