App asked 7 years ago

Hello, I’m on Linux Centos 7 and when I create a Symbolic Link with:

ln -s /var/evostreamms/media /home/mymobiletv/public_html/tvmedia

It creates the /tvmedia directory but with file permission 777.
When I try to play the media files linked inside this directory, I get an ERROR MESSAGE BELOW:

Not Found The requested URL /tvmedia/autoHLS/AppThis/AppThis.m3u8 was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I can see the Symbolic Linked Directories/Files. How do I correct this so I can access the URL? Or Do I access this URL Another way? I’m trying to add the stream name to my Flowplayer and need the URL for this. Here is how I did it with Ver 1,7. <source type=”application/x-mpegurl” src=”./tvmedia/autoHLS/AppThis/AppThis.m3u8″> How to I remove that Error message above? or Other Solution???

Hi App,


If you are playing HLS (playlist.m3u8), you should place your files in evo-webroot so it can be accessed by the web server, then stream your playlist using this URL: http://localhost:8888/pathTo/playlist.m3u8

For more information please read: http://docs.evostream.com/2.0/userguide_createhls.html

If you want to create a symbolic link, please use the evo-webroot folder and also please change your autoHLS targetfolder to evo-webroot. Thank you.

Just to be clear…. Do I point to 1 or 2? Should I point to the one that was created with the install or where I copied the demo file too for public display? ie “public_html”

/var/evo-webroot
/home/mymobiletv/public_html/evo-webroot

========= Next issue… Sometimes the system will write to or create the following directories and other times it won’t! It’s just stops for no reason that I can find. I have not change the Config.lua file. autoDASH
autoHDS
autoHLS
autoMMS The Below I have Done: Check entry in Config.lua

{
   ip=”0.0.0.0″,
   port=9999,
   protocol=”inboundHttpFmp4″
},

Note: You can change the port you want to use
Play in Browser

Just place the URL below in your browser, hit Enter

http://<IPofEMS:port>/<localStreamName>

http://127.0.0.1:9999/myStream

Use in Video Tags

Simply place the URL inside video tags if you want to add your stream in your HTML page

<video src=”http://<IPofEMS:port>/localStreamName”></video>

Every time I think it’s working, something goes happens. Here’s where I am. I can see the Stream I’m broadcasting live (hasStreamAliases=false)…. Same as I did with Ver. 1.7 using “Now you see me – RTMP Publish”. The UI is picking up the stream and sometimes it would play it and other times it won’t. I killed the pids and tried to stop & start many times. Cleared Browser of all…. Still the same…

Video Won’t play?

Files aren’t being created here?

Won’t stream from browser?

What am I doing wrong? I’ve been at this for a few days. Hmmm… Need help to get this configure the correct way. Thanks

Hi App, Can you discuss what is your objective? As far as I can see you are using autoHLS/MSS/HDS/DASH. Do you wanted to create the HTTP streams using auto and aimed it to be played using the UI? If yes,

Please point your target folder to your evo-webroot
Use Google Chrome for UI (Firefox does not support the player in the UI)

Notes:

Please make sure that your stream source is playable (try in vlc)
You can see the HTTP files in evo-webroot folder
The UI can only play HLS and DASH streams

Please refer to http://docs.evostream.com/2.0/userguide_createhls.html and userguide for more information Thank you.
