Troubleshoot Autostream

How to troubleshoot the Autostream feature when the playlist failover happens?

The Livebox Autostream tends to show a warning sign while creating a playlist because of the invalid URLs of the YouTube videos or the wrong RTMP URL while automating a playlist on the streaming destination.

Here are the reasons:

4 Reasons for the Playlist Failover

  • You have entered the invalid URLs of the YouTube videos.
  • You have entered the incorrect RTMP URL of your streaming destination.
  • The video you are trying to stream is unsupported by the Autostream feature.
  • When you try to create a playlist with private videos.

Note:  Under any of these circumstances if you keep requesting YouTube with an invalid URL/RTMP URL or any unsupported media, YouTube blocks your server to automate the live playlist henceforth.

Case 1:

Livebox Autostream

While creating a playlist, if a warning shows like this, by correcting the invalid URLs followed by Restarting, the playlist can be successfully automated live on the streaming platforms.

So to correct invalid URLs,

  • Go to “Settings” of the created Playlist.
Automate live playlists
  • You can click the “Check Invalid URLs” button.
  • It will show the invalid URLs. Now you can correct those invalid URLs.

  • Re-enter the correct RTMP URL of your streaming destination.
  • Then click the “Start Again” button.
  • Finally, “Restart” the Playlist.
