HLS playback Troubles (bug)

Hello,

I get a problem with a HLS stream playback - the direct link is playlist.m3u8. If i add the url to iPhone Safari it’s just will try to connect 3 time, my play button will jump at the top of screen a few moments later, will be crossed.

But if i will get the chunklist from the playlist file - it will run smoothly with no problem.

What can be wrong with a server?

The screen preview:

With a Wireshark i found some interesting details, seems like iphone just doesn’t SEND request to get media.ts fiels :frowning:

Here a jpg log from a wireshark TCP Follow stream.

If u will put some guess by codec or streaming server version - it doesn’t matter, the streams was also switched between these two - the results the same, smt my in iphone safari?

Hello there. You said

the direct link is playlist.m3u8

The URL you use to play the stream should take this format:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:[port-number]/[live-application-name]/[stream-name]/playlist.m3u8
for example
http://[wowza-ip]:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8

Regards,

Salvadore
