Re: Live HLS m3u8 stream from encoder server Stutter/Jumps around

Hi,

I tested your live stream (http://96.73.1.110:8080/0.m3u8) in the Roku Stream Tester and it works fine.
Make sure you are using liveFeeds key in Roku Direct Published feed (see sample code below).

Here is a sample JSON with liveFeeds:

{
    "providerName": "OTTfeed.com"
    , "lastUpdated": "2021-01-22T21:01:43+00:00"
    , "language": "en-US"
    , "liveFeeds": [{
        "id": "GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV"
        , "title": "OTTfeed"
        , "content": {
            "dateAdded": "2021-01-23T17:20:46+00:00"
            , "videos": [{
                "url": "https://playlist.ottfeed.com/live/master.m3u8?channel=GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV"
                , "quality": "FHD"
                , "videoType": "HLS"
            }]
            , "language": "en-US"
        }
        , "thumbnail": "https://ottfeed.com/GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV/OTTfeed-live-image.png"
        , "shortDescription": "All-in-one feed management system for Roku Direct Publisher, Roku Channel and custom OTT apps"
        , "longDescription": "OTTfeed: All-in-one feed management system for Roku Direct Publisher, Roku Channel and custom OTT apps. All Content Types, Management Tools & Advanced workflows. For more info go to https://OTTfeed.com"
        , "tags": ["ottfeed", "live"]
        , "rating": {
            "rating": "UNRATED"
            , "ratingSource": "USA_PR"
        }
        , "genres": ["technology"]
    }]
    , "categories": [{
        "name": "Latest"
        , "order": "most_recent"
        , "query": "live OR ottfeed"
    }]
}

Ok, I figured it out.  The update changed the way the it handles ts files.  I had to UNCHECK "start new ts files with key frames only". and that fixed it.

Re: Live HLS m3u8 stream from encoder server Stutter/Jumps around

Did anyone else notice that Roku didn't even offer a suggestion on this topic and seems to have completely abandoned any attempt to support developers in the DP program..

I'm thinking of switching to SDK, but then I have to learn the roku language and jump through hoops in order to make it all work..

And I wonder if Roku offers SDK developers any kind of reasonable support any more....................................
