I have a user with an m3u8 file that the content of the file looks like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=701214,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.34",RESOLUTION=640x360
chunklist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=1635263674

He claims this other app (not mine) is able to play that file with sound on the Chromecast whereas mine plays it without sound. I have not been able to reproduce his claims but since he insists this is true I figured I would check.

I'm using the reference player code pretty much unmodified except for this code which I got on this other post:

host.processManifest = function(manifest) {
    if (manifest) {
        return manifest.replace(/CODECS=\"avc1.66.([0-9]*)/g, 'CODECS=\"avc1.66.30');
    }else{
        return manifest;
    }
};

  • Can you get the stream from that user and see if your app plays that or not? The change you have made shouldn't affect that stream since it is, based on your description, using avc1.66.30 already. It is possible that the other app is using a different receiver, or the app does some transcoding, etc but I would start with getting the stream from that person and trying it out and see where it fails.

  • This is the stream http://evp.mm.uol.com.br:1935/band/brasilurgente/playlist.m3u8 but it goes down often so while I've been able to test it with my app and it plays (without sound), I haven't been able to do tons of troubleshooting. It is possible that the other app is doing transcoding although they don't advertise that on their store listing.

  • Can you download the stream to your own server so you can test the stream reliably (since you mentioned the stream goes down often)? Once you could create a reliable failure, you can open a ticket on our SDK issue tracker and include the stream and the receiver log so someone can take a look.

  • If I download just the .ts file, can the Chromecast play that?

  • I believe it should.
