Are you sure the video you're trying to play is in a compatible format?

Thank you for the reply.

I am not sure whether the format of the video is compatible. that will be my second step. Before that I want to make sure the simple video player in the example is working or not. In my case it is NOT working for the default URL which comes with the examples.

If you have a working copy, can you please share it with me?


Thanks

Hi All,

I have got the URL. http://salvationtv.in/player/salvationtv.swf but not sure whether Roku will support this format OR not.

Here is my settings in Simple Video Player

urls = ["http://salvationtv.in/player/salvationtv.swf"] ' I am able to play this URL in windows Media Player.
qualities = ["SD"]
streamformat = "hls"

Not sure of Qualities and StremFormat values. I need your help.


Thanks
Ambrose

The .swf extension means it's a Flash file which is not compatible with Roku.

Are you sure that the unmodified simplevideoplayer example is not working for you? The URL that is uses is an MP4 from http://video.ted.com. But the error message you quoted earlier refers to an srt file from salvationtv.in, which indicates that you modified the code before trying it. Does it work if you just run the simplevideoplayer zip file right from the SDK?

Thank you so much.

Some how the Simple Video Player is Working. Now I need to modify the URL and other details like format. Here is another set of channel details.

urls = ["http://angeltv.org/movie/atvstreamhigh.asx"]
qualities = ["HD"]
streamformat = "MPEG-4"

I got the stream format details from URL http://angeltv.org/ => Viewing Information.

Some times I am getting error like "An unexpected problem (but not server timeout or HTTP error) has been detected.

Please help.


Thanks
Ambrose

ASX files aren't supported. See the Supported Video Encodings table in the Component Reference or Encoding Guide for supported file types. And for an MPEG-4 video file, StreamFormat should be set to "mp4".

thanks a lot.

I have tried some of other favorites channels like Daystar, GOD.tv, Nanban.tv, salvatiotv.in and angeltv.org. All these streaming are in swf/asx format which is not supported by Roku. Is there any future plan to support these formats. Is there any alternative way to view these live streaming?

Thanks
Ambrose
