HLS and DLNA error

Opened this issue · 3 comments

When I try to beam a .m3u8 url (HLS) to an LG via DLNA I get Unknown UPnP error:

errorCode = 716        
errorDescription = "Resource not found"

I tried with both application/vnd.apple.mpegurl and application/x-mpegURL as mime types.

Does Connect SDK support HLS beaming and is there something particular I need to do?

Thanks

"Resource not found", that mean, your TV can not send request to HLS server. You can try to check your .m3u8 url or try to send HEAD request to your .m3u8 URL, if response not found, that mean your TV can not get resource.
I had same issue on my Samsung TV, when i play video from url via DLNA. The first, my TV will send a HEAD request to this URL, if response not found TV will not sent GET request to this URL and get error "Resource not found", otherwise TV will set GET request to this URL and play this media.
This is my solution on my Samsung TV, you can try it. I not sure it work on your LG TV. 😀

The URL is a valid one (https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8). When I try with it the TV doesn't do anything and I get:

errorCode = 716        
errorDescription = "Resource not found"

However, when I try with this one: http://184.72.239.149/vod/smil:BigBuckBunny.smil/playlist.m3u8 (without SSL and straight with the IP) the TV starts the player, but says Unrecognizable file and the UPnP error is:

errorCode = 501      
errorDescription = "Action Failed"

The TV should be able to play HLS stream, but there seems to be a problem with the Connect SDK.
