HTML5 AND Wowza

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hey guys :cool:,

I have just an abstract question. Besides MPEG-DASH, Adobe HDS (manifest files) & Microoft Smooth Streaming, Wowza doesn’t produce a clear http url that can be used to activate the HTML5 engine in a third-party player (i.e. flowplayer & jwplayer). Will it do so in a near future?

I hope I explained that well. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Can you perhaps give an example of such as URL that does this now?

Hi,

Only the Safari browser, in OSX or on the iPhone/iPad, is really capable of this at the moment.

Example:

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

Sorry for the belated comment.

I don’t have a specific code. I am referring to the example above. Using the ‘Test Player’ you can get a url to either use RTMP, MPEG-DASH, etc.

None of the above enable the HTML5 engine on a third-party player (i.e. flowplayer & jwplayer). Now I store my video locally and I serve it in RTMP or MPEG-DASH. So what I am asking is if there is a chance in the future that I can get a url so I can serve it using HTML5 engine while still storing it locally.

Thank again
