Streaming HLS thru HTTPS question

Hi guys,

I asked this question before on this forum, but the suggestions did not help me.
I am trying to stream hls-ts thru secure connection.

It works fine with HTTP, and I receive the same playlist for HTTPS as well:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1698523,CODECS="avc1.66.30,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=640x360
chunklist_w1792456115.m3u8?

The link is perfectly fine, however it is avaliable only inside my VLAN; as long as I know it works with iPad thru secure connection, so you can use any https streaming for testing.


He is what am I doing:

...
this = {
        port:      CreateObject("roMessagePort")
        player:    CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
        ...
        }

this.player.SetMessagePort(this.port)
this.player.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt") 
this.player.SetContentList([CreateVideoContent(streamUrl,playbackTime)])
this.player.Play()
...

function CreateVideoContent(streamUrl,playbackTime)
content = {
        Stream: {             
            url: streamUrl,          
            format: "HLS"
            }
        qualities:["HD"]
        StreamFormat: "hls",
        StreamBitrates:bitrates,
        PlayStart:playbackTime,
        SwitchingStrategy:"minimum-adaptation",
        minBandWidth:64,
        Live:true,
        }

return content
end function


I played around with certificates depth and initialization many times with no luck.

These errors I receive:

msg.GetType() , msg.GetIndex : msg.GetMessage()

11, 0: ConnectionContext failure
11, 0: Unspecified or invalid track path/url.

9,-5:
11, 0: end of playlist

9,-5: The format is not supported or the media is corrupt
16, 0: Playback completed. 
11, 0: end of playlist 
11, 0: ConnectionContext failure

Re: Streaming HLS thru HTTPS question

If it only works through your VLAN, that could be an issue?

Unfortunately, not. I can play on iPad easily, also http works fine.

btw, I use wowza4.1.0 if this matters.

Re: Streaming HLS thru HTTPS question

Problem solved by adding InitClientCertificates() to the screen the video-player function was called from. In my case, the array with roVideoScreen was called from roGridScreen. I had to add certificates to roGridScreen.
this = {
    ....
    screen:   CreateObject("roGridScreen")
    ....
    }

    this.screen.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
    this.screen.SetCertificatesDepth(10)
    this.screen.InitClientCertificates()
