I am have some issues with HLS streaming. I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between these two HLS streaming links (I removed the ip of the lower link as it connects to my personal server):

This stream, for example, works fine:

This one does not work (This link does spit out a .m3u8 file):

If I use one of the links in the playlist however it will work.

Kricker and I have the same problem. To add to this, I was able to play the HLS stream above in VLC with no issues, but it did NOT play in smplayer which uses ffmpeg. Is this somehow an issue with ffmpeg that xbmc uses? If so, what can be done about it?

bump... any thoughts on this thread?
