Take a look at the vod tutorial which details configuration and playback for iOS.

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming)

You will be using playlist.m3u8 url and HTML5 video tag, like this:

```auto
<html>
<head> 
  <title>Cupertino Streaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://173.11.194.245:1935/vod/Demo.mp4/playlist.m3u8">
</video>
</body>
</html>

```

You can look at UserAgent in app server too.

Is there a tutorial of how to create a fallback to all possible streams in a custom player?

I would like to have one player on my site that will play on most of the wowza supported devices. Could someone shine some light at this for me?

I already own the JW-player, but I would like to use a custom flash player…
