Cannot play transcoded hls stream on video.js and hls player

[jenbhu]

The transcoded stream file works fine on VLC.

However, it does not play on web players like video.js or hls.js.

Is this normal or is there a special config to make ?

I have the same problem, this project was abandoned, it use ffmpeg for transcoding videos, but not run it directly, instead reference from github.com/riltech/streamer, that's much more difficult to debug.

In streamer project, the vcodec was copy to target ts, so if the source RTSP video can't play on videojs or reacthls, then the hls cannot be played too.
