Trouble opening m3u8 stream

[computmaxer]

@maddox Any idea what could be causing this?

[maddox]

I'm not sure. Do you see the .ts segments on disk? Is ffmpeg actually producing them? What's the channel number you're tuning?

[computmaxer]

Yes, I see the .ts segments being created. I've attempted 8.1 (local CBS) and 51.7 (Comedy Central) both with the same result.

I see the clients hitting the webserver for the files in the server log output:

127.0.0.1 - - [18/Sep/2013 13:51:22] "GET /channels/51.711.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 2386 0.0006

But video never begins playing with either Safari or VLC.

That's the problem.

afc5cab and 5c8a51b fixed the problem with ATSC channel tuning. Have you pulled master recently? Do that and try again.

[computmaxer]

Ahhh, no I don't have those changes. Great, thanks! 👍

[maddox]

So then it worked after?

[computmaxer]

Yup! It's awesome, thanks again. I'll be making a little Roku app so I can finally stream from this to my Roku and watch live TV on my projector in the living room.

@computmaxer awesome 👍 that's what it was made for. Using it as the backend for things like that 🤘
