</div>

We use the following code:

```auto
<html>
<head> 
  <title>Cupertino Streaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/mStream/playlist.m3u8">
</video>
</body>
</html>

```

The link to stream on IOs is the following:

```auto
http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream.sdp/playlist.m3u8

```

We added an alias (and uncommented the alias tags in the Application.xml)

```auto
mStream=myStream.sdp

```

But we get the error:

> Stream alias access denied mStream.

at live.html, and

> The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

, respectively

> e.target.error.MEDIA\_ERR\_SRC\_NOT\_SUPPORTED

at IOs devices.

We use Flash media encoder.

How can we fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the alias

```auto
mStream=myStream.sdp

```

is set in the **alias.streamer.txt** , together with the other working aliases.

In the Application.xml are only the alias module and its properties.

I also tryed the following aliases (but nothing worked):

```auto
mStream=myStream.sdp
myStream.sdp=mStream
mStream=http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream.sdp
http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream.sdp=mStream
mStream=rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream.sdp
rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream.sdp=mStream

```

At first, thanks for the reply.

When I use the code this way:

```auto
<html>
<head>
  <title>Cupertino Streaming</title>
</head>

<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/[B]myStream.sdp[/B]/playlist.m3u8">
</video>

</body>
</html>

```

I get the following error:

> e.target.error.MEDIA\_ERR\_DECODE

repectively

> The video playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the video used features your browser did not support

Thanks for the quick reply.

I recently have reinstalled the encoder because of some problems with the aac

license and I did not check that the encoder was not set to h.264 Format.

Thanks again.

Does the OS have to be Mac OSX? Can I stream to safari on a windows machine?

Also does this work for VOD?

I tried the code

```auto
<video controls="controls">			
<source src="http://localhost:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8"/>
</video>

```

It works fine for the test in Flash with Wowza example LiveVideoStreaming, but for some reason I can’t play it through an iOS device. It just shows the player with a crossed out play button.

I’ve followed all the instructions with regards to the fmle encoder and the wowza streaming setup. Is there something I’ve missed?

Have any version available for this today?

It’s possible streaming to others desktop browsers now, or the only way to use html5 audio/video tag for streaming is to use iOS devices or safari on mac?

Thanks.
