Web Application Configuration

The web.xml for your application must have the following servlets defined, which will provide the requested playlist and segments.

    <servlet>
    	<description>Serves an HTTP streaming playlist</description>
    	<display-name>PlayList</display-name>
    	<servlet-name>PlayList</servlet-name>
    	<servlet-class>org.red5.stream.http.servlet.PlayList</servlet-class>
    	<init-param>
            <param-name>minimumSegmentCount</param-name>
            <param-value>3</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>startStreamOnRequest</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>

    <servlet>
        <description>Serves a segment</description>
        <display-name>TransportSegment</display-name>
    	<servlet-name>TransportSegment</servlet-name>
    	<servlet-class>org.red5.stream.http.servlet.TransportSegment</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

Additionally, if the playlist and segments mime types are not defined in the primary web.xml for the server they will need to be defined in your application web.xml as follows:

    <mime-mapping>
        <extension>m3u8</extension>
        <mime-type>application/x-mpegURL</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
    
    <mime-mapping>
        <extension>ts</extension>
        <mime-type>video/MP2T</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
