Do I need 3rd party player to provide VOD?

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi All;

Warning: very simple question ahead.

I’m setting a VOD server, and I would like to provide support to many devices (iPhones, iPads, Android phones & tablets) and computers (Windows) as possible.

Do I need to have a player like JW Player or can just stream using the html5 video tag and assume that the default player is going to work?

However i would like to have security to prevent leeching, downloading, copying etc.

So does it means that i need a 3rd party player pls?

Many thanks

Lucio

Hi, Lucio,

Welcome. Take a look at JW Player 6, which will provide playback support for desktop and iOS devices.

And take a look at the Wowza Security Overview.
