  1. I broadcast a live .m3u8 stream from my server, it works fine in ms edge and in vlc but not in chrome. I know about chrome's native problems with m3u8 however I think there is something wrong with my stream but I don't know what. The stream url is http://198.91.92.112:90/mobile/index.m3u8. I've tried this url in the demo page at:
    http://videojs.github.io/videojs-contrib-hls/ but the player gives an error message: The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. There's no problem with the network so it must be a format problem.
    I also tried it at http://video-dev.github.io/hls.js/demo/ but nothing plays.

    I generate my stream using this ffmpeg command:
    ffmpeg -y -f mpegts -i <tv tuner> -f flv -codec:v libx264 -preset slow -s 320x180 -qscale:v 20 -maxrate 600k -bufsize 1000k -vf scale=-1:240 -threads 0 -vsync cfr -framerate 15 -c:a aac -b:a 64k -af aformat=s16:44100 rtmp://<my-streaming-server>

    I figured there's something wrong with this command which makes it fail in google chrome. Thanks for any help.

  3. thanks for your response. I tried the command with just -f mpegts only and ffmpeg did run but in ms edge and vlc there was no video image. I then tried just -f flv on its own and there was video however when testing the stream using the demo urls in my first post it still doesn't work in google chrome.
