Cannot get hls to work about flashls HOT 11 CLOSED

I encountered a similar problem with the plugin in the Grind player. It might not be related, but I could fix it by adding secure="false" to the crossdomain.xml, like so:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

But the reason in my case was that my .m3u8 was served over HTTPS, while the plugin was locally loaded via HTTP.

Here is the cross domain from the other domain if you need it

cross-domain-policy><allow-http-request-headers-from domain="" headers="" /cross-domain-policy

Sorry, this does have proper xml but the comment hides it

from flashls.

Also all tried hosting the first m3u8 file locally and reference that. What I saw in the Chrome network log is that the m3u8 file is retreived but then again,, nothing...

I also found this on another site:

Hi Ian i am the developer of the plugin. This is usual responses from you guys I'm afraid and its much deeper than just the player. The issue is your system uses akamai which you redirect to. Flash cannot handle redirected urls to obtain the real url for generating the base url from so a redirect proxy is required to handle that. On top of that the akamai urls use session cookies. If third party cookies or cookies is blocked completely it will fail to work because when loading the urls via flash the cookie does not get added, if third party cookies are enabled the cookie will get added. In research people building mobile apps have similar issues with the akamai HLS streams. I have someone who is a pro customer trying to use this for flash I hope that is ok, however this cookie issue has been a problem. If you may is there a way to generate the auth tokens when requesting the urls ? There is zero documentation anywhere about this.

So it might be due to the host and flash redirects?

Hi I would need debug logs from JS console to help u

from flashls.

I've set flowplayer to debug as well as the flash var. I get

$f.fireEvent ["onBeforeLoad"] flowplayer-3.2.12.min.js:24

For remote m3u8 and

When the initial m3u8 is hosted locally

Code I used to init the player

flowplayer("player", "http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.12.swf", {
// configure the required plugins
live: true,
debug: true,
wmode: 'direct',
plugins: {

},
clip: {

//url: Url,
url: "local/master.m3u8",
urlResolvers: ["httpstreaming", "brselect"],

autoPlay: true
}
});

Hi @barryallott
I dont see any flashls debug logs below (just flowplayer ones).
could you first ensure your stream is playing as expected with chromeless player ?

check it on the following page : www.flashls.org/latest/examples/chromeless
enable debug/debug2 traces, and then load your URL, and hit play.
if it is not working plz share JS console logs.
Cheers,
Mangui

Logs from that player.. I checked and I could get at the file through chrome browser but not the player

from flashls.

there is a permission issue : it looks like your crossdomain.xml is not set correctly.
refer to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14213.html

from flashls.

Hmmm... From the link you sent an example cross domain is

cross-domain-policy>
  allow-access-from domain="www.company.com" />
/cross-domain-policy> 

And I can see the crossdomain.xml located at https://webstream-vh.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml

cross-domain-policy>
allow-access-from domain=""/> (there is a * between the quotes - message board is hiding it)
allow-http-request-headers-from domain="" headers="*"/> (there is a * between the quotes - message board is hiding it)
/cross-domain-policy>

note: again - had to remove the leading < or the text was removed

It looks ok to me and I cannot change this anyway.

from flashls.

yes, it looks correct at a first sight, but this error is returned by Flash Player, so definitely there should be something wrong around the cross domain policy. basically this error is returned when flashls does a simple URL load on the playlist ...
