Re: Issue playing HLS stream on tvos

Looks like a server-side or connection / routing issue. According to the log, VLC requests the HLS playlist file and receives an empty answer :/

Any ideas why it might work using a proxy? This is being used from a tvOS app, and AVPlayer can play the stream fine (with and without a proxy)

It seems like VLC chooses very different modules.
eg, when it works it uses access module http and stream_filter module prefetch, whereas when it doesn't work it uses access module access and stream_filter module cache_block

Also it seems like the network interaction is wrong in the case where it doesn't work:

VLC requests the playlist:

Code: Select all

GET /edge/342/playlist.m3u8?token=eb6e9c98c1ea418165592e6751e89eb8&bid=11&pid=5&uid=49601&did=c801c1e9a390be6818d860b82c6e3db2&g=1&gm=1&platform=3 HTTP/1.1 Host: 109.169.19.33:1935 Accept: */* User-Agent: NTV-XBMC-HLS-3.4.5 LibVLC/3.0.0-git Range: bytes=0-
And the server responds with the data:

Code: Select all

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Accept-Ranges: bytes Server: WowzaStreamingEngine/4.2.0 Cache-Control: no-cache Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:15:35 GMT Content-Type: application/vnd.apple.mpegurl Content-Length: 256
For some reason though, VLC expects there to be more data, even though those headers don't indicate there is more?

Code: Select all

GET /edge/342/playlist.m3u8?token=eb6e9c98c1ea418165592e6751e89eb8&bid=11&pid=5&uid=49601&did=c801c1e9a390be6818d860b82c6e3db2&g=1&gm=1&platform=3 HTTP/1.1 Host: 109.169.19.33:1935 Accept: */* User-Agent: NTV-XBMC-HLS-3.4.5 LibVLC/3.0.0-git Range: bytes=256-
The server then predictably responds with an error.
