Updating ServerSidePlaylist / testPlaylist.zip to run with Red5 1.0.8

[ZEBRin]

Hi there!

I'm trying to update the ServerSidePlaylist example that was available a while ago on the forums, as this is exactly what I'm looking for to set up a webTV server, using Red5. Although I'm a newbie to all of this, I've been able to compile a version using Eclipse Neon, under a Red5 1.0.8 Runtime (Java 8). All seems to work smoothly (e.g. I can check the appStart and the playlist generation in the logs), but my client-side player (jwplayer based) keeps buffering endlessly, and I can't see any video from my playlist ever being played...

I've managed to trigger a serverStream.toString() reporting in my appConnect, to see what was "in" the playlist at the time of streaming it to a new connection, and here is the result:

---

Do you see anything strange in this report that could put me on track to finding the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!

No one to help me out? I can't figure out what direction I should be investigating to resolve this, but have the feeling I'm now close to making it work... :/
Let me know if I should post more (code, reports...)!

I'll look into this, I just don't know when it will be yet.

Awesome, thx Mondain!
