Re: HLS Playback of more than 5 Fragments fails

I retried my tests (with the same videos on the same servers) - and got the same results.

I upgraded to 3.0.2202 then tried the tests again, and got the same results. "appleTest" fails, "appleTest2" plays, and "appleTest3" fails.

Could you double-check your results?

* We both agree "appleTest" should fail
* You said "appleTest2" played for 10 second - I say it should play for 30 seconds. (Please see below)
* You said "appleTest3" played, whereas for me it failed.

RE: appleTest2:

When you say the video "only plays for ten seconds" - does it really?

The videos should play the first fragment three times. So if your just looking at the counter - and not paying attention - you might miss the fact that is has repeated.

Also - where do you see the error message you spoke of? I do not see any.

I encoded these videos from a series of still PNG files, using FFMPEG, exactly as specified in the "Roku Encoding Guide".

Thanks for your help!

Re: HLS Playback of more than 5 Fragments fails

Any update on this?

I incidentally was able to obtain some output from a (very expensive) RGB encoder, which seemed to work properly.

Any help on getting the FFMPEG generated content working would get this project back on track. Right now, Boxee seems to be my only answer...

Thanks,

Re: HLS Playback of more than 5 Fragments fails

Any help on this?

I'm finding the box unusable.

Any way to debug what's going on?!?
