FFMPEG and streaming help needed

If you have good experience in ffmpeg, i need help with the following simple project. i have a video in mp4 format, and i need to convert it to hls m3u8 format. currently i managed to use ffmpeg to convert it successfully and play it in vlc player, but when i use it in my streaming server, it doesn't play good and freezes, stops, repeats, etc... yet on my streaming server, i have multiple other live streams that work perfectly fine. someone with enough knowledge about ffmpeg and streaming should understand this project and resolve my issue in no time. so basically i need to know the exact command i would need to use to successfully convert the mp4 to hls m3u8 format that will work perfectly smooth in my streaming server. The streaming server is not the problem, because i played many other streams on it perfectly fine, and i played the mp4 video as a VOD and plays perfectly fine as well, but i need it to play it as a channel continuously. i'm using the streaming server software by Telebreeze, if that makes any difference. all high bids on this project will be ignored. payment will be put into milestore, but will not be released until the job is done successfully, and plays 100% smooth on the streaming server.
