RTSP stream works in VLC but not HLC in VLC

I have a working stream in VLC from Wowza 3.? Amazon AWS.

rtsp://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream

If I try to use this stream as an HLS file in VLC

http://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8

I get an error in VLC :

main error: no suitable demux module for `http/://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8’

I can however play this file that I got from another post in VLC

http://50.22.70.52:1936/live/Stream1/playlist.m3u8

In the end I’m trying to get the stream on a Roku Box.

thanks ~

Check the /conf/live/Application.xml /LiveStreamPacketizers. Add “cupertinostreamingpacketizer”, then restart Wowza to re-load the application

Do you have your Application configured for Cupertino streaming? Make sure you have cupertinostreaming and cupertinostreamingpacketizer turned on as described here: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder#config

-Tim

Please restart Wowza, start the stream and test playback again, then zip up and send /conf and /logs folders to support@wowza.com

Include a link to this thread.

Make sure you do the restart before test so we have concise logs and logging from current config and can see environment in startup lines.

@Tim, both were in place. In addition to smoothstreaming and sanjosestreaming . My StreamType is “live-lowlatency” not “live” as described in the post above. rtsp does work. Any other thoughts?

thanks all ~

None of the http streams are working at all for the live stream (including smooth and hds).

Would you post your Application.xml ?

Hi

When you attempt to play the stream what errors/log messages do you get?

What’s the codec being used for the stream?

For HTTP streaming you should be using H.264 video with AAC or MP3 audio.

In VLC I get this error …

main error: no suitable demux module for `http/://ec2-184-169-133-240.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live/mpegts.stream/playlist.m3u8’

Should I be suspicious of “http/://” ? I’m entering “http:// …”

The same VLC player successfully plays the other HLC stream mention earlier

I’m using h.264 with AAC, mpegts . The steam works as an RTSP in VLC and through an Amino 130.

Please restart Wowza, start the stream and test playback again, then zip up and send /conf and /logs folders to support@wowza.com

Away from setup but will do ASAP in the next 24 hours. Thanks~

After retarting the Wowza server, checking to make sure rtsp worked, the HLC link now works in VLC.

Whatever you did (lol) I really appreciate it. Now on to the Roku …

Thanks~
