Live Stream - Playlist for Adaptive Bitrate

If you set the player to use either an RSS feed or an inline playlist (with "levels"), the plugin should still work indeed.

just one kind of big problem...

with my playlist the way it is, in flash mode, the player and live stream plugin work fine... until i stop my broadcast... at which point the player doesn't seem to ever return to an Idle state but stays in buffering....

in IOS the live stream doesn't ever really kick in because its also seemingly always reporting as buffering rather than idle...

otherwise when i click play and the broadcast is running it works fine in both environments..

it works fine when i don't use playlists...

I think this is an issue with the wowza transcoder that is generating the streams for the playlist rather than jwplayer or the playlist itself..

thanks.

Also make sure you use the right encoding parameters for the video you ingest. This tends to go wrong frequently:

*) Use MP4 with H264/AAC. Anyhing else (e.g. FLV) won't work.
*) For the H264, use Baseline encoding at e.g. 480x270 or 640x360 pixels. Optionally, set a fixed keyframe interval at 5 or 10 seconds (multiple of the fragment duration).
*) For the AAC , you can use LC-AAC or HE-AAC. Though most iPhones oficially only support the first, they all seem to be able to decode both.

here is a video explaining the problem, i really think its the wowza transcoder sending something incorrectly:

Yes, it seems like Wowza keeps the connection open on the transcoded file but not on the input feed. So, from the player side, things look like the broadcast is still in progress.

This could be a setting in the Wowza server, but I'm not sure. Not up to speed with Wowza 3 yet. Did you ask there?

Hi, I am struggling to get JwPlayer to work with Wowsa Transcoder. (I have used it without this addon, with success) I am a bit unsure how to configure things, but after following the howtos about configuring the Wowsa transcoder plugin I wonder if most of the config files is set up and should function out of the box. Is that right? The only thing I did was to add transcoder in Application.xml like this <LiveStreamTranscoder>transcoder</LiveStreamTranscoder>

After that I tested with the JWPlayer Wizard for RTMP and inserted the following:

playlistfile: http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/ngrp:mp4_all/jwplayer.rss

This do not work, I just get a message that playlist could not be loaded. Do someone have any ideas what to do?

Hmm, I'm afraid I don't know how to set this up. You should try the Wowza forums, since this is really Wowza specific.
