VOD - For browsers? HTML5?

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi, I need to stream to browsers a couple of videos… I’ve been reading as much as I could about how to do this and I found this post:

https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?12859-Streaming-VOD-using-HTML5-and-Wowza-media-sever

But it says nothing about streaming to chrome, firefox, and other browsers, just for safari… Is there a way of doing this? or is not possible at all? Is there any solution if is not possible using html5?

Thanks!

You need a Flash or Silverlight player to stream to the desktop. There is not a Wowza/HTML5 streaming method at present.

Flash players

JW Player (RTMP, HLS, current version is 6 actually)

Thanks Richard! Your answers are always so helpful!

Now I’m using Flash Media Playback Player, I had some problems finding the right URL but figure it out!

Thanks again!

Richard, has there been any update for HTML5 video support? Or is it still limited to Safari? I haven’t been able to find a recent post about this…
