New HLS stream host(gravlab)/ stream not working

We have a new company doing our streams, Gravlab. The stream is not working. They claim it is not on there end. How can I determine what the problem is? Has anyone had any experience with this company?

the following is the stream url:
http://innovatvnetworks.gravlab.net/hls ... atest.m3u8

Thank you for your help.

I get a 404 page for that url - it ought to download a text playlist file.
Something like this - http://public.infozen.cshls.lldns.net/i ... ublic.m3u8

Re: New HLS stream host(gravlab)/ stream not working

Hi,

innovatvnetworks was an account that signed up for a free trial then disappeared, so their account was suspended. So that was probably the problem you were running into. So here are some gravlab resources that people may find useful, ...hopefully not spammy:

Here's an example of a HLS m3u8 on our CDN: http://stream.gravlab.net/003119/sparse/v1d30/pages/nightskyHLS/Lapse2.m3u8

Here's a lot of information on using M3u8 metafiles for Apple HLS: http://www.gravlab.com/2013/10/26/example-sample-http-live-streaming-m3u8-embedded-player/

We're happy to help Roku content distributors use HTTP Live Streaming, including transcoding / encoding and live broadcasting.

Here's more information regarding m3u8 creation: http://www.gravlab.com/2013/07/05/what-is-an-m3u8-file/

Cheers,
