I am hoping someone here can help with my issue. A little background of what I'm trying to accomplish. I am running a sports live streaming broadcast using Vmix streaming software and using the instant replay function within. Once a highlight has been captured, I want to export the file out of Vmix into a folder that Plex is pointing at and the video is automatically added to the server. The coaches on the benches will have iPad's synced with the server and can theoretically access that footage within minutes or even seconds of the play happening. Here is my issue. VMix only outputs instant replay files in MPG file format which turns out to be MPEG-PS Version 2 (file stats below). I can get Plex to see the files, but it will not play them. I receive a "Cannot load M3u8: 404 not found" error when trying to play within the web browser. When I try to optimize, I get an "invalid metadata" error. The iPad sees them as well, but will not play. I am running the latest 1.1.4.2757-24ffd60 server.
Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
