class=gmail_quote>Hi. I have tried BS player as well.
I don't think it's the player as it's getting a "taking too
long to read" error in backend log. As for latest fixes, I'm
only using the latest version in arch repo, mythtv 1:0.25.2-1
and tbh I don't really fancy compiling a newer version as it took
me a while to get it all working after the switch to systemd :)
<DIV>Playing videos works so I know the players are working at
least. Just that 'taking too long' error and it trying to
access a zero byte file instead of the actual stream is making me
wonder if I can get around this.

There was an issue a while back where HLS wasn't working,

<DIV>Hi, wondering if you could help clear something up for
me. I've got mythtv 0.25 running on my arch system, all
working great and other frontends connecting fine. Got
the droid app and it connects to the backend ok, receives
channel list ok but when I launch the channel, either in
internal viewer or MX player it fails. Now looking at
the logs on the backend it seems it's trying to read the 0
byte file that gets made on initial channel selection.
Here's the log

<DIV>Right, I went to the url and installed jw player, and then accessed
a channel with the android app and looking in the livetv folder there is
the usual zero byte file and then the stream file appears not long
after. It doesnt appear in the live streaming list until I goto
select livetv from the drop down and list files, then select the mpg and
Add Stream, which then (after I refresh the page a few times) shows me
the stream I can click on and play, and also there are a LOT of small ts
files being made in the recordings folder. I guess they are to
stream to the android? They are named
like 1072_20120821132706.mpg.480x272_800kV_64kA.ao_32kA.000027.
well anyway it's still not working :(</DIV>

<DIV>The files you are seeing are correct. The live transcode
creates multiple small chunk files of the recordings. Then they are
added to a .m3u8 playlist, which is streamed to MythTV for Android, or the
JWPlayer, etc.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>When was the last time that you updated the backend. There was
an issue a few months back where HLS was starting, but no stream was
coming out. It is fixed now in the source. If you haven't
updated in a while, then I believe this is the issue you are
seeing.<BR><BR></DIV>
