I have a live streaming account with dacast.com How do I create a live channel to roku player?
I look at the sample video player that came with the SDK. I can play video file from the website (Url). But I can’t
do a live. Per the SDK develop guide said it support and can be done, but I can’t find any example how to do it?
Is there anyone can help point out to me?

Look at the apple test stream example in the simplevideoplayer example.

You need to figure out if your streaming account lets you stream to IOS devices like iphone/ipad. If so, then you would figure out what that url (typically ending in .m3u8) is and plug it into simplevideoplayer example, you’ll need to add a line like srt=“” to the example.
