I have tried almost everything but I just can’t get my HLS video to work through Cloudfront with FV Player.
I have set up a bucket with transcoded HLS videos (ending in .m3u8).
If I grab the direct link to this file and paste it in my video tag on my WP website, it plays well.
But if I change the front part to my cloudfront url, then it doesn’t work anymore.
I have set up all the options in FV player as standard and when I try to play the video, FV Player shows an Admin Issue. When I check it, it says CORS Headers Missing.
Although I’m not a techie, online tutorials seem to suggest that my CORS file in my S3 seems to be ok.
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns=”removed_link”>
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>DELETE</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>Any idea what the issue could be?

Hi Jetheat,
Have you correctly set the CloudFront key pairs and added the credentials to FV Player settings? You can find a guide for that here – https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/serving-private-cloudfront#keys
As for the CORS, don’t forget to whitelist the headers in <i>CloudFront > Distribution settings > Behaviors</i>. More details are here – https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/hls#cors-in-cloudfront
You might also want to read our guide How to setup encrypted HLS stream with Amazon Elastic Transcoder, because it shows the whole process of setting up HLS stream. You can skip the parts that deal with encryption, if you don’t need it.
Thanks,
Eduard
On reading your first step about entering the Cloudfront keys, you have written…
Now that you have both the Private Key File and the Access Key ID – in worpdress admin panel of your webpage go to Settings > FV Player Pro > Hosting > scroll down to CloudFront (pro).I dont have the pro version. Does that mean I cant use Cloudfront?

Hi Jetheat,
Unfortunately yes, CloudFront is available only in the Pro version. You can purchase it here, if you are interested.
Thanks,
Eduard
