What to do next

Compare the generated master playlist with the packager’s actual outputs. Restore the URI for the intended rendition.

What to share if the problem continues

  • The exact parser result and version of the importer or player.
  • A minimal redacted sample with dates, IDs or segment names retained as needed.
  • The output after checking the source export separately from the viewer app.
