Description
I've been unable to playback any of the livestreams from the backend using VLC. It appears that the m3u8 file is has incorrect filenames (contains a directory). VLC is attempting to playback a path with two Content directories because of this (http://backendip:port/Content/Content/GetFile....).
Testing a sample file from Apple ( http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/prog_index.m3u8 ) works in VLC. If I take one of the .ts links and construct it with a single /Content (rather than /Content/Content?) I am able to playback the file in VLC, indicating that it isn't a codec issue. Comparing the two m3u8 files (the apple sample and the one from the backend), the one the backend produces contains a directory in the filename (/Content/<Filename>).
Talking with sphery, it appears that either the full path should be in the m3u8 file (including http://server:port/) or it should be the filename only (no directory).
