There is no full URL inside the m3u8 playlist but it generates a file which concatenated with playlist URL - gives an URL that can be played. But AFAICT it can only be "played once" and then it becomes invalid - LMS looks at an URL twice (initially to check the format and then secondly to tell player to play it) and I think this is breaking the URL as URL is invalid on the second attempt.
What a weird setup and some sort of lame attempt at protection or preventing something which I can't figure out. I think another problem is that it is not streamed http/AAC but in fact it is a MPEG4 Podcast with an AAC audio component and possibly a dash of Apple proprietary streaming (its MIME is application/vnd.apple.mpegurl) . MPEG4 podcast need a LMS as they are not v. streaming friendly - they really expect to be downloaded where the play can then seek up and down the file to find headers. My guess I think VLC downloads most fo the file before it starts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101699 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
