[mingji]

Hi, I have succeed to get all broadcasts and get each broadcast 's summary information such as cover image url, profile image url, display name, watcher count, liker count... Now I 'm trying to play the each live streams in web browser. How can I embed the video player and set the url of live stream?

Can I play meerkat video stream outside of meerkat? Now I 'm trying to play it on our own website.

I think a Meerkat stream is a HLS stream. So you can get the playlist file http://cdn.meerkatapp.co/broadcast/{broadcast}/live.m3u8

Thanks. I have succeed to get play list file and downloaded ts files to my local server. When we are playing them on our server, there is no problem to play that stream. By the way, can not we play live stream on meerkat server directly?

If change the ts file path such as http://cdn.meerkatapp.co/broadcast/d1941995-6f8b-4a09-ac74-d53b42dca1a4/chunk_0007315.ts, there is some error <...not allowed access >.

ex: live.m3u8
