VideoJs with live stream
html, html5-video, javascript, stream, video-streaming
Solution
So I Looked more into this and found out that it was because I was trying to do this locally. I put my code onto the JsFiddle and it worked. So all I can logically say is that the files must be on a web server for the player to work. This worked for me not sure if it can be done locally but the only way I could get it to work was on a web server
Problem
I am trying to get videoJs to work with a live stream I have a this link which contains an rtmp live stream. http://www.iptv-player.com/index.php?fdb=1&title=%20+JIMTV%20%20&stream=rtmp%3A%2F%2Frtmp.jim.stream.vmmacdn.be%2Fvmma-jim-rtmplive-live%2Fjim and the player itself has a link which is: rtmp://rtmp.jim.stream.vmmacdn.be/vmma-jim-rtmplive-live/jim I am currently just trying to get the live stream to play on the videoJs player I have already got the local video to work just cant fathom out how to get the live stream to work. Here is my html for what i have so far ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Video.js | HTML5 Video Player</title> <!-- Chang URLs to wherever Video.js files will be hosted --> <link href="video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <!-- video.js must be in the <head> for older IEs to work. --> <script src="video.js"></script> <!-- Unless using the CDN hosted version, update the URL to the Flash SWF --> <script> videojs.options.flash.swf = "video-js.swf"; </script> </head> <body> <video id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="none" width="640" height="264" poster="http://www.pageresource.com/wallpapers/wallpaper/bleach-ichigo-mugetsu-here-size-original_215405.jpg" data-setup="{}"> < <source src="http://www.iptv-player.com/index.php?fdb=1&title=%20+JIMTV%20%20&stream=rtmp%3A%2F%2Frtmp.jim.stream.vmmacdn.be%2Fvmma-jim-rtmplive-live%2Fjim" type='video/mp4' /> <!--<track kind="captions" src="demo.captions.vtt" srclang="en" label="English"></track>--><!-- Tracks need an ending tag thanks to IE9 --> <!--<track kind="subtitles" src="demo.captions.vtt" srclang="en" label="English"></track>--><!-- Tracks need an ending tag thanks to IE9 --> </video> </body> </html> ```
