How does it look (HLS URL) in VLC Player?

and can you see it playing in PrismCast's Chrome tab

May be time to examine the PrismCast log

Did you turn developer options on in Chrome so PrismCast can use its puppeteer extension?

I suppose this is one of the issue that is making me drool, and what I initially explained: I have no idea how to get to the "Prism Chrome window." I am working in Chrome, but I see nor can find any other instance of Chrome.

Shut chrome down.
Restart your Mac
Restart PrismCast if you didn’t set it up as a service
OPEN SAFARI!!!!
Go to Dashboard and attempt to authenticate CNN @cnn.com
The chrome browser window should pop up.
Authicate with provider then open another tab and type in "chrome://extensions
At the top right there is a place to turn on developers option.

It should be minimized in your dock

Let PrismCast use Chrome.

You should use Safari.
