Hi I’m not sure if I understand the question correctly, OSMF Player uses Http Live Streaming (HLS) and I’m not aware of any issues streaming live or on demand using this player method. Wowza allows you to encrypt streams to iOS devices, you can do this by using one of these methods, [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-secure-apple-http-live-streaming-aes-128-external-method](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-secure-apple-http-live-streaming-aes-128-external-method) [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-the-internal-method-of-aes-128-encryption-to-secure-live-or-vod-streams-sent-to-apple-ios-devices-moduleencryptionhandlercupertinostreaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-the-internal-method-of-aes-128-encryption-to-secure-live-or-vod-streams-sent-to-apple-ios-devices-moduleencryptionhandlercupertinostreaming) you can test this is working using this tutorial, [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-test-aes-encryption-for-apple-hls-streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-test-aes-encryption-for-apple-hls-streams) I’m not sure if this answers your question so please let me know if I have misinterpreted the question.

Sorry, I meant to say 1.Can I stream Apple HLS thru Adobe Flash Player using OSMF Plugin? If yes, it there a downside or flaw compare to rtmp or rtmp over 80? 1. Also if yes can I encrypt Apple HLS thru Adobe Flash Player using OSMF Plugin? ---

so lets say i convert my videos to Apple HLS, There is no way I can configure it to play in adobe flash player? I will have to encode a separate file for that player? ---

1. No, you can’t play Apple HLS (Cuptertino) in a flash/OSMF player. 2. You can encrypt Cupertino, but see #1. ---

Apple HLS (Cupertino) is a delivery protocol (think networking), not a data encoding (think pictures). You can use the same media for Cupertino and Flash RTMP, and RTSP, etc… ---

I’m not sure what kind of converting you’re talking about. You can configure a Flash player (well, the web page really) to detect an iOS device and present an Apple HLS URI. This would be Cupertino Streaming. So, basically you want one Web Page that can serve a stream to Desktops and iOS devices, correct? Many players do this such as Flowplayer or JWPlayer.
