I’ll also add that I tried to get the RTMP to work and was getting a “File not found” message, even though the HTTPS was working fine, and the video player was telling me that my RTMP link was fine as well. I’m trying to play protected content from my S3 bucket.
Well I tried Cloudfront but performance is pretty much the same…in fact it’s really no different from S3. I’ve tried other options like getting it to automatically buffer once you load the page but those haven’t helped either.
