Livepeer media server (lpms)

Hey sorry wasn’t sure if this was the best place to post this. If not could you direct me to the best place thanks. I had built the livepeer media server (lpms) from the github repo (https://github.com/livepeer/lpms) and was having trouble getting RTMP ==> HLS portion working. According to the official api doc the live streaming portion is still beta Whenever i send an RTMP stream to the media server it always give me broken pipe error when trying to convert to HLS. No HLS endpoint is created to consume Are there tips to encoding formats i assume mp4 with standard h264 presets should work fine once converted to a RTMP stream using ffmpeg, but again i always get an error.
Anybody have any insight in dealing with live streaming transcoding using the official api?
