Question about Live Media Streaming Sound Issue

Development Platform & Builds Mobile

Hello,
I’m testing live media streaming service in Oculus Quest2. I use AWS IVS Service to Streaming Server and streaming url format is .m3u8.
When using Android MediaPlayer sound is mute. There any sound doesn’t exist. UE4 Media reference(Media Framework Technical Reference for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation) said ‘[Android] Audio currently plays via the OS and cannot be piped through UE4’s Sound System’.
So, Is there any solution about connect live stream media sound to UE4 Media Sound Component?

When using the beta version of Electra Player connect with the AWS IVS video, “(error=8
in HLS playlist builder: code 10, “Required EXTINF tag is missing”). No alternatives remain.” is displayed and there is an error in the video playback.
In this case, it is a case that the’EXTINF’ value is not included in the AWS IVS master playlist response value. In this regard, I am wondering if there is a way to customize the Electra Player.
Below is an example response from AWS IVS.

Hi Vammal,

If you still having issue with HLS Streaming, you can take a look at this media player plugin for android, this might be helpful:
NexPlayer for Unreal Engine is the only video player plugin that supports HLS and DASH streaming on Android and Windows devices.

Did you find any other solution yet that doesn’t use that over expensive NexPlayer thing ?
