Hi,

we are doing HLS using Wowza Media Server 3.5.0.We could able to stream videos on amino set top box using the URL: http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8.I am wondering if we can play this stream on mozilla FireFox on windows?Do we need to add any plugins to the browser?

Thanks & Regards,

Prasanthi.

Hi Prasanthi,

You may want to use JWPlayer made with Flash, check this Jeroen’s interview.

Firefox will need Flash, and then you will need JW Player 6 Premium to deliver HLS in Flash. You can only skip Flash in the latest Safari and iOS devices – they support HLS natively.

The more standard option is that once Firefox has Flash, you could just use a regular RTMP stream in any Flash player (free JW, Flowplayer, etc.).
