HLS Derivatives in Avalon 

One of the major changes in Avalon 6.2 is streaming now uses MediaElement 4 for playback and streams exclusively via HLS.  No special actions are needed to install MediaElement 4, it comes as part of the upgrade.  For browsers that do not have native HLS support, a MediaElement.js shim is used to enable playback.  This requires that you have HLS derivatives of content for playback.  If you have been using the default Avalon transcoding profiles for Matterhorn these derivatives exist.  If you have used a custom profile, you will need to ensure that you have HLS derivatives generated.  If you are unsure, you can search the directory for files with the .m3u extension, files ending in .m3u are capable of HTTP Live Streaming (HLS).
