Unable to seek rtmp mp3 stream


I have been able to .seek() a video rtmp stream, but when switching to an mp3 the .seek() method doesnt work and the player says 'live broadcast'. I have tried several different mp3's.

This is an example: rtmp://s44dogshy6e18.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/mp3:file

Any suggestions what Im doing wrong?
Thanks

Is this actually a live stream or not?

Hi, no its just an mp3 on cloudfront - I couldnt find any options for toggling live stream

Also, this is my jsplayer setup..

jwplayer("jw").setup({
file: "rtmp://s44dogshy6e18.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/mp3:file",
provider: 'rtmp',
width: 480,
height: 30
})

When play is pressed, the scrub bar disappears

It is just mp3:file, it doesn’t have a file extension. So this is not live? It is vod?

Ok, just released that was the problem! Adding .mp3 made the file seekable. Thanks for your help.

And when it is live mp3 stream how to make it works? When stream ends with".mp3" it works, in other cases - no. What is wrong with my setup?

It is minimal:
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
file: "http://128.208.34.80:8008/;"
});

Set the player’s type variable to mp3

Thank you! It works nice.

Where I can find documentation about this variable, because I need to work with different streams (AAC, AACP, RTMP, HLS)? What are the possible values of this variable?

Am I doing right with AAC streams - I set type:'aac' ?

It doesn't work in such way.

Yes, that should be it. Where is this running?

Here is my playground that should work with different streams - http://13.rv.ua/player/p2/
You can choose stream type (gray buttons on the top) by default it is set to MP3, than choose stream you wish from the list and after that - play.

This because aacplus is not supported.

I see.
And what about streams 11, 12, 13 and 14 - they are AAC? Can you check?
