Video stops playing/hangs/freezes after some time

  • We have published several videos via the latest plugin that are being streamed via a Wowza server (Camera -> VidiU Encoder -> Wowza). The videos play fine on mobile devices, but on desktop browsers they seem to stop after a short period of time. Full resolution (720p @ 1000kbit) play for less time before freezing than reduced bandwidth versions (360p @ 600kbit). Using the manually set up, native flash based flowplayer on a test site yields video that keeps playing (as does using VLC).

    We are on the latest version of WP, the latest version of the FP Plugin, and using the SKT Yogi Pro theme.

    I have noticed that the console has the following lines in it (if it helps):
    Specified “type” attribute of “application/x-mpegurl” is not supported. Load of media resource https://stream.secantnet.net:1935/live/arena1-2/playlist.m3u8 failed.
    Specified “type” attribute of “video/flash” is not supported. Load of media resource arena1-2 failed
    All candidate resources failed to load. Media load paused.

    The video then starts playing anyway (even though we have auto-play off).

    The videos are linked off of:
    https://www.miha.org/live-video-streaming/

    Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    please update to the latest WP plugin which re-enables the hlsjs feature. Note this requires CORS headers allowing GET request to be set in Wowza.
