Playing VoD Via M3U8

Hello,

I am new to this forum but would appreciate any assistance you could offer. I am trying to use a BrightSign HD1024 box to play a video on demand file via an m3u8 file to an television. I am trying something very basic about 3 lines of code to test whether it will work but at the moment, it's not.

m = CreateObject("roMediaStreamer")
m.SetPipeline("https://iptv.abcxyz.com/video/k23sdfkeW/index.m3u8,mem:/display")
m.Start()

I'm not exactly sure if the destination in the pipeline is correct. Also, would I need to play this in conjunction with the roVideoPlayer? Any suggestions or pointers would be great appreciated.

    roMediaStreamer is for using the player as a streaming source, not to play remotely-hosted streams.

    Use BrightAuthor or BA:connected and put the source URL in a Video Stream state.
