I get an “Unable to play audio codec…video codec…” error with live streams in Firefox - the same streams play fine in Chrome.

Youtube live streams also do not play in the same Firefox browser - and further information says that particular Firefox browser does not support MSE with H.264 (but it supports MSE) - how else can we broadcast live?

It says in the tech specs that Firefox 5.0 or greater is supported - I guess 50.1.0 should be OK…

I don’t know if recorded MP4’s are working or not - Youtube recordings do work.

I would be interested if anyone else has live streams working both in Chrome and Firefox without flash - if you have please elt me know,

Hello alancostello,

I tested with VOD and Live applications and both worked with my tests in Wowza Player and Firefox.

Can you test with a VOD application and the included sample.mp4 and see if you have the same issue then.

Also test Firefox on a different system to make sure it is not related to the system you are getting this issue on.

Regards,

Alex
