HLS Playing

HLS Playing is available in both Community and Enterprise Editions. Before playing a stream, make sure that stream is broadcasting in the server.

Quick Link: Learn How to Publish Live Streams

1. You can use play.html under the Application. Visit https://your_domain_name:5443/WebRTCAppEE/play.html. If you're running Ant Media Server on your local computer, you can also visit http://localhost:5080/WebRTCAppEE/play.html

   You will encounter Stream ID doesn't exist popup error.

2. Write the stream ID & HLS play order parameters in URL as below.

https://your_domain_name:5443/WebRTCAppEE/play.html?name=stream1&playOrder=hls

3. The HLS stream will start to play automatically when it becomes live.

Autoplay may not be activated for some policies by Chrome & Firefox. So you may need to click the player to get it started button. Look at below links:
