Hi

Anybody have a good idea about play multi-stream on a single screen(it means that i want to see two or more live stream at the same time and the same browser whether the platform is iOS or Android)?

thanks

We’ve used FFMPEG and its overlay feature to transcode two streams/files into one combined stream:

Then you could send that combined stream back to Wowza.

And VLC has something called Mosaic that will do this.

With a Flash Player you can have two players in a web page. The easiest on to use and do that with is this hosted player, nothing to install, the configurator generates embed you copy to your web page. You will generate two and copy both to a web page

I’m not sure what the problem might be using JW Player to do this. Try this:

<html>
<head> 
  <title>cupertinostreaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8">
</video>

</video>
</body>
</html>

iamkoko,

Flash does not run on iOS. Here is a thread where users reported getting 4 streams working in the browser on iOS.

On Android, RTSP and Cupertino streams both open in a video player app outside of the browser. So for those protocols you will either have to write a custom Android app, or mux the streams using a transcoder as susta004 suggested. Flash can do it in browser on Android, but Flash has been dropped for Android 4.0 and above. I believe Adobe AIR is available for Android 4.0+ which may be a potential solution for you, but I don’t have any more info on that at this time.

Thanks for reply, and let me describe more what I need: when I click a URL (rtsp or hls), that will lunch a browser to play a live or a playback, but there is only one Live or playback will be present, how do I play two live or playback on one browser one tab(iOS and android).

Thanks.
