MethodNotAllowed when trying to watch Live Stream

[HappyGilmour 20]

I will apologize up front. I know I did this. Everything was working ok. And then I wanted to move/change the folder I use for recordings. So I moved the data from one folder to another. Deleted the old folder. Set the default recording folder. And....not I can't watch or record any streams. I get the dreaded "methodnotallowed" error. 

Hopefully this gives you what you need. If not I can append the whole server log.

Ok. This issue fixed itself. Turned out to be provider related and the fact that it happened right after I made the changes....pure coincidence. Marking it as solved.

Hi, to answer your question, your provider was returning a 405 error code when trying to open a stream. A 405 response code means not allowed.
