For the file variable, use the m3u8 stream instead of the video file.

thanks for rp

first i used this code:
bc.. <html>
<head>
<title>Rangarang Live Stream</title>
<script type='text/javascript' src='jwplayer/jwplayer.js'></script>
</head>
<body>

<div id='mediaplayer'></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer('mediaplayer').setup({
'id': 'playerID',
'width': '480',
'height': '270',
'file': 'http://tv.rangarang.us/liverar.isml/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl).m3u8',
'image': 'http://rangarang.us/android/rangarang.png',
'modes': [
{type: 'html5'},
{type: 'flash', src: 'player.swf'},
{type: 'download'}
]
});
</script>
</html>


and then this simple one:
bc.. <html>
<head>
<title>Rangarang Live Stream</title>
<script type='text/javascript' src='jwplayer/jwplayer.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
</script>
<div id="thePlayer"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("thePlayer").setup({
flashplayer: "player.swf",
file: "http://tv.rangarang.us/liverar.isml/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl).m3u8",
height: "270",
width: "380"
});
</script>
</body>
</html>


but in both of them, android could'n play anything :(
and when i use my direct stream link:
bc.. http://tv.rangarang.us/liverar.isml/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl).m3u8


its work great in android device.

httplive://tv.rangarang.us/liverar.isml/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl).m3u8 is not a valid url.

You can’t put httplive:// into an address bar.

It has to be – http://tv.rangarang.us/liverar.isml/manifest%28format=m3u8-aapl%29.m3u8

HTTPSLIVE makes no sense because that is not a valid URL.

I recommend testing your M3U8 out in this tester – http://developer.longtailvideo.com/player/trunk/fl5/js/test/examples/m3u8.html, and also trying out sample.
