Luke 37008 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 This is ready for use and will be in the next server release: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/wiki/Http-Live-Streaming It features full playlist generation for seeking, adaptive bitrate streaming, and other improvements from the original api. Usage is the same, just change your url from stream.m3u8 to master.m3u8. The only difference is for audio and video codecs, you cannot specify copy as your desired codec. The server needs to know the actual codec, but may end up using stream copy based on other parameters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I want to make sure I understand this clearly. With HLS seek. I should be able to seek to anywhere in a transcoding stream using the media players native seek rather than requesting a new stream. I've just tried this on android and the playback is starting from the beginning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 correct. once you have it in the app i'll probably need to do some testing with it. it is currently working well on chrome android, safari and roku, but this kind of thing will need individual testing with different player software.

Redshirt 1487 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Disregard the above. I wasn't setting a property that I needed to. It's still not quite working as expected. The seek works and it tries to play from the new position, but It's playing like it's not caching or something. a frame or two every few seconds and the audio popping. I'll button up some other stuff this weekend and get a beta build of my client out so you can see for yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've added a blurb about post-playback. It's nothing new, but just making sure everyone knows: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/wiki/Http-Live-Streaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
