Jw player does not start HLS video Wowza


Hello,

The loading icon in JW player keeps loading when requesting the following url: http://52.17.215.10:1935/vods3/_definst_/smil:amazons3/elqoo/organisation/1234/course/1234/content/generated/1234/playlist2.smil/playlist.m3u8

This is a Wowza generated hls playlist using a smil file.

The playback works in VLC and Safari (with or without JW player), but on chrome (using the Flash version) it keeps loading without results.

This is the configuration:

var player = jwplayer("videoPlaceHolder").setup({
playlist: [{
sources: [{
file: "http://52.17.215.10:1935/vods3/_definst_/smil:amazons3/elqoo/organisation/1234/course/1234/content/generated/1234/playlist2.smil/playlist.m3u8"
}]
}],
primary: "html5",
width: "100%",
aspectratio: "16:9"
});


When i look at the network in chrome (via inspect element) i see the crossdomain.xml loading, followed by the playlist.m3u8 and the chunklist (= second playlist), but then it stops.

Note that we have the pro version of JW Player.

Kind regards,
Stijn

Hello,

I have successfully loaded the video fine in flash mode within Chrome. I did notice however that i received a crossdomain.xml error in the very beginning that can cause problems. The following link will detail how to resolve this issue and how to create the .xml file: http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1403679-crossdomain-file-loading
