Live HLS over Chromecast about mediaelement-plugins HOT 27 CLOSED

Can you provide a URL so I can see this issue? I'm currently working on fixing something related to it and might be good to integrate that fix as well

from mediaelement-plugins.

from mediaelement-plugins.

Any updates on this? I finished a major refactor and I wanna test it with your issue to make sure we are all covered.

from mediaelement-plugins.

Sorry for the delay. Here is a test site using the latest release of mejs and mejs-plugins.

http://thisanimus.com/streamtest/demo/

from mediaelement-plugins.

I tried to reproduce it, but it returned a 403. I'm gonna ask you to test the development branch on the MediaElement project and let me know if everything works as you expected on that branch. You won't need the plugin anymore since Chromecast is integrated in the player core on that branch; you will just need to enable it via features using the keyword chromecast. Let me know your findings, please, so this can go to the next release

from mediaelement-plugins.

• Found another live stream that seems to be working now.
• Using the dev branch
• Get the following error when initiating the cast:

[ 12.006s] [cast.framework.EventTarget] Handler for isConnectedChanged event failed: TypeError: this.media.originalNode.getSrc is not a function
M @ cast_framework.js:14

from mediaelement-plugins.

Thanks for testing this. I pushed earlier some changes/fixed to the dev branch if you can test this again I'll appreciate it.

from mediaelement-plugins.

Just as an FYI I may end up putting this as a plugin again but with the new approach I took. I'm just waiting for more tests and I'll proceed to do that because the file size increased quite a bit and I'd like to keep it as light as possible

from mediaelement-plugins.

Thanks for your thoughtful approach. It's because of this kind of discipline that MEJS is such a fantastic plugin. The quality of work you devs put into this project is mind-blowing. Keep it up.

from mediaelement-plugins.

@thisanimus OK I have 2 new branches (one for the player and one for the plugins) named the same: mejs-new. Please test them using the following configuration for your scenario INCLUDING chromecast.min.js and chromecast.min.css:

new MediaElementPlayer('player1', {
	// This is needed to make Jump Forward to work correctly
	autoRewind: false,
        castIsLive: true,
	features: ['playpause', 'current', 'progress', 'duration', 'speed',  'volume', 'chromecast']
});

These new branches had addressed many issues in terms of integrating properly Chromecast and achieved the dual-nature of Chromecast and MediaElement. Let me know your findings and thanks again for testing this

from mediaelement-plugins.

Using mejs-new and mejs-new-plugins the .m3u8 won't play in-browser, it throws the following error:

Interesting I tested the same page you sent me last night with both branches. Let me take a pick again and I'll let you know

from mediaelement-plugins.

This .m3u8 works:http://109.68.190.192:1935/WEB_Smilik/Smilik.stream/playlist.m3u8

This one throws the above error: https://content.uplynk.com/channel/bd25cb880ed84b4db3061b9ad16b5a3c.m3u8

from mediaelement-plugins.

Oh gotcha. Let me check this other one. The one above worked for me as well

from mediaelement-plugins.

Malformed stream maybe? It's from Verizon, so I would have expected that it would be standards-compliant.

from mediaelement-plugins.

It's very likely. But here's the thing: I checked this on the HLS.js website and this is the only thing I see:

Maybe it's something with the HLS settings that need to be changed. Let me check that

from mediaelement-plugins.

In your player configuration, add this:

hls: {
	autoStartLoad: true
}

I think that will solve your issue

from mediaelement-plugins.

new MediaElementPlayer('player1', {
	// This is needed to make Jump Forward to work correctly
	autoRewind: false,
        castIsLive: true,
        hls: {
	    autoStartLoad: true
        },
	features: ['playpause', 'current', 'progress', 'duration', 'speed',  'volume', 'chromecast']
});

from mediaelement-plugins.

No dice on the hls config, however setting preload="metadata" on the video tag makes it work. And the chrome cast works as well.

from mediaelement-plugins.

Interesting. I'll explore some more about this scenario. I really appreciate your testing. Is there anything else that needs to be added to this ticket, or can be closed?

from mediaelement-plugins.

Looks good to me. When do you think mejs-new will be merged into the main branch?

from mediaelement-plugins.

I just need to fix part of the behavior when using React, because there is a big issue using the plugin in combination with React, but I'll take a look at that today. Potentially, next week I'll release these changes on both branches

from mediaelement-plugins.

Great, I'll keep my eyes open for it. Thanks again for all your hard work!

from mediaelement-plugins.

You are welcome. I just want this player to be the best one; and with people like you testing, we only make it greater. I still don't know how to make it more popular (compared to VideoJS), but maybe its more about the website than the functionality of both

from mediaelement-plugins.

Just FYI, either you used preload="meta" or preload="auto" or use autoplay attribute, it will work in your scenario

from mediaelement-plugins.

Just FYI, the new code is now on master branch. It will be officially released once I address one thing with ReactJS

from mediaelement-plugins.

@rafa8626 Comming back on this thread, I have an error, that when I'm playing certain HLS videos/live-feeds, I get the following error: Unknown error: session_error

Here's an HLS URL that works: http://www.streambox.fr/playlists/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8
And one that does not: https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/MI201109210084_1/m3u8s/f08e80da-bf1d-4e3d-8899-f0f6155f6efa.m3u8

I tried with the configs in this thread, but same problem :/
