VP8/HTML5 Support

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I was reading an article about HTML5

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/article.php/3878486

and was excited to hear that Google may announce a new codec that’s better and faster than h.264, AND is open-source, VP8:

If this happens, it’d be great if Wowza could support it as well!

Thx,

Wowza should easily be able to support VP8 once it has been added to Flash. As far as beyond Flash there is not any information from Google as to how streaming will work with HTML5. At this point it seems to be progressive download only.

I have no experience with it, but this is something to investigate:

And we sent a note to another developer doing work in this area with reference to this thread. Not sure where that will lead, but you may see a response here.

@nanoco: Could you give us more information about nanoStream Live Video Encoder ?

Could it be possible to test it ? How much does it cost ?

For now, I’m still using FMLE with Wowza but some (crazy) customers still ask for both Windows Media and H.264 …

Thank you.

Hi Oliver,

I’m using VLC to Encode H264 ACC to live stream for ipad, iphone then push it to WOWZA media server.

I get my Stream from IP Recievers through Multicast (UDP)

I have some issues with VLC sometimes streaming stopped and never play back

i’d like to try your software if it’s stable more than VLC i will get a license

so, could you give me an advice about that?

Thanks alot

In our company we need to make the video encoder by FME as it does not find any solution to make the application in Flex and I think it will be possible in VP8. Have you had experience in doing the same encoder that is not in H.264 inside a Flex application or a tip? For using the spark to make encoder generates a very inferior quality.

I contact On2 for try VP6 in application but they were purchased by Google and do not know what will be the company.

Thank you very much

Hi,

I am Oliver from nanocosmos, referenced here.

Our Live Video Encoder SDK supports browser based H.264 encoding and RTMP streaming, compatible to Wowza Media Server.

Here you find some information, let me know if you need more help.
