Live streaming

[ryancl]

Has anyone been able to get this to work with live streaming? I have a Roku app now that is able to play my live streams when I give it the .m3u8 file directly. However, if I point it to a Brightcove player with the same playlist file it just sits on the loading screen.

Hey Ryan,

So right now the app actually checks for mp4 videos with some minor surgery it should work fine with m3u8s. I think most of the code for that is in the NWM_BC_GetEpisodesForPlaylist funciton in the NWM_Brightcove.brs file.

Thanks this does point me in the right direction. I think I understand what is going on but I am not really sure how I would tell it to do both. Just declare an additional function in that file? Anyway, I am not a developer and will probably have to hire this out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

@ryancl if you ever did get this working I'd love to bring in the changes here. I'm trying to make some updates to this app this week. Thanks.
