Stream to Samsung Connected TVs

Wowza Streaming Engine
#21

Richard, generally your answer makes no sense since setting “relative” to true == “disable full urls”. and I wanted the opposite.

However I just talked to people that are working on the task and it seems there was another issue with playback, so SmartTV does not need full .ts urls.

So I hope my question is not actual for now and SmartTV will work ok with wowza…

Hi Everyone,

Anyone has any luck with playing the HLS stream on Samsung Internet TV application on a Blu Ray player or Internet Connected TV? We are trying the HLS stream on a C5500 Blu Ray player.

Thanks in advance,

Kuldeep

Sorry about the duplicate post.

We couldn’t find any example on Samsung forums. They have one video sample which only plays on demand.

Is there anyone who have tried it successfully? What are the encoding profile parameters? We are using H.264, Baseline 3.0, AAC audio codec with 44.1khz sample rate.

#24

any luck?

hi

can you share with me your final setting for the live, i have wasted almost 4 month trying to test this but faild to have stable live stream, did you use transcoding addon? if you can also give me some info on the encoding side.

i appreciate your knowledge sharing in advance

Thanks Richard for the reply. Well I have VOD working for mp4 files not Flash VOD files. I think the problem might be in the player widget that they supply with the SDK for Flash. I was hoping some else might have a solution as I saw a mention of it on the board as a reference of using iPhone type streaming to other devices. I’ve tried the standard way to getting that to work and it didn’t work for me either.

Anyway thanks for the reply and I’ll keep trying to find a solution as the tech support at the Samsung dev site isn’t helping much.

Hi Anton,

I hear you there, still trying to make all of the pieces work together. Good to hear you had it working on one point. What do you think changed when you reset your TV?

There was a change with default values when Wowza Media Server 3 first released. Now, by default, Wowza Server 3 uses relative iOS playlist URLs whereas Wowza Media Server 2 used absolute URLs. You can change it back to use absolute URLs, Wowza Media Server 2 behavior by following this article. What version were you on prior to upgrading to 3.1.1 build1479?

I have also problem with Samsung TV and Blu-ray. Before we was using Wowza 2.2.4 and can stream to Samsung devices using Apple HLS protocol like http://x.x.x.x/oscar/stream/playlist.m3u8. All was working!

Then we made upgrade to wowza 3 and streams can not played anymore on Samsung devices. Strange thing is it working on Samsung SDK emulator, but not on real device. No error messages in logs! Something is changed in new version?

NB! Streams on apple devices are working fine :slight_smile:

#30

This setting is not helping. After some seconds stream is disconnected without error I can see in log file.

#31

Inserted these settings in Application.xml, but video still not playing on Samsung TV. Installed wowza 2.2.4 on test server and copied this video to server. Video on Samsung is playing like charm. What else is changed or can be wrong?

It’s for live stream? I’m using VOD.

#33

Nope, still having problems when using this settings!

#34

Okay, followed your guide and calculated cupertinoTargetChunkDuration per formula. But video is not playing!

My tbc=50,fps=25

<Property>
<Name>cupertinoChunkDurationTarget</Name>
<Value>2000</Value>
<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>
#35

Hi

Try this in LiveStreamPacketizer/Properties in [install-dir]/conf/[application]/Application.xml

<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoChunkDurationTarget</Name>
	<Value>30000</Value>
	<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>
<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoMaxChunkCount</Name>
	<Value>10</Value>
	<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>
<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoPlaylistChunkCount</Name>
	<Value>3</Value>
	<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>
<Property>
	<Name>cupertinoRepeaterChunkCount</Name>
	<Value>3</Value>
	<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>

This will give you a long delay before playing the stream maybe 30+ seconds but it may work.

Our Samsung Smart TV video application developed based on Wowza 2.0 after upgrade to 3.0.4 is unable to play vod rtmp stream

The same video work fine streaming from Wowza 2.0 but Samsung 2010 TV set not playing it from Wowza 3.0.4. Application and TV set are the same.

BTW, video is played in Samsung desktop IDE emulator, but not appear on TV set.

We are using stream like this:

Player.setVideoURL('http://178.16.16.214:1935/vod/mp4:bigbuckbunny_750.mp4/playlist.m3u8|COMPONENT=HLS');

We tried to add theses settings to conf/vod/application.xml , but no success. Any ideas?

We added properties from article, finally vod/application.xml looks like below, but still don’t have stream on TV set:

We acknowlwdge that stream works on other devices except Samsung Smart TV. However it does not help us to keep running application on Wowza 3.0. Seems we need to step back and use Wowza 2.0 specially for that app.

But maybe there are other differences between Wowza 2.0 and 3.0, which might be cause?

In SamsundDforum there sre some more threads with the same problem, BTW

#39

Thanks Charlie!

VOD is working on Samsung TV like a charm!

We’re reallly like Wowza support ! You’re one of the’ best!

We’ll test ‘live’ and let you know.

#40

And ‘live’ is working too now on Samsung Smart TV.

Great job, once again!
