Hello, we are trying to build an iOS App which uses HLS VOD content however when we attempt to validate the streams using the Apple media stream validator we get the following errors.
media_3.ts?wowzasessionid=1344685693:
WARNING: Media segment bandwidth exceeded target playlist bandwidth by 11 % (419.46 kbits/sec vs.378.04 kbits/sec, limit is 10 %).
media_9.ts?wowzasessionid=1344685693:
WARNING: Media segment bandwidth exceeded target playlist bandwidth by 12 % (424.80 kbits/sec vs.378.04 kbits/sec, limit is 10 %).
media_16.ts?wowzasessionid=1344685693:
WARNING: Media segment bandwidth exceeded target playlist bandwidth by 11 % (421.12 kbits/sec vs.378.04 kbits/sec, limit is 10 %).
I have just included a small subset here, for the example file above we had 24 of these warnings for a file segmented into 129 ts chunks. This was with version 3.0.5, I have also tried it with version 3.5 which is better, but it still had 7 warnings for the same file.
I’m slightly confused as to what could cause these warnings, and is there a way to stop them from occurring? I know Apple in theory shouldn’t reject an App with warning messages but we have found that hasn’t always been the case.
Many thanks
