Basic Live Streaming Problem

I am quite new to this.

Trying to stream a live video, I don’t get an error, but the video never play.

Theses are the steps I took.

-Create a new stream [martin.stream] in the “live” application.

-The stream URI is from S3 Bucket. [http://[FOLDER]/video.mp4]

-When testing with “Test Players”, i get the “martin.stream is now published” status, but the video never play.

-Trying the same thing with Flash, I get the NetStream.Play.PublishNotify status, but the video never play.

Not quite sure if I need to use an encoder or if I’m missing a step.

Thx

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to stream a static video MP4 file as a live stream.

What you are doing would work for a live stream sent in from a live encoder, but won’t work for a static file.

The best way to stream a static mp4 file out as a live stream is to use this Scheduled Streaming method.
