Wowza works fine with VLC for multicast, but I am looking for a web-based player, which can support multicast. I don’t want to install VLC on every PC in our enterprise…a web-based player would make things much easier. Any recommendations? ---

Hi, VLC can be embedded within a web page. See [this example](http://www.tldp.org/REF/VLC-User-Guide/x1574.html) for instance. May be the easiest (and cheapest) way to get yourself a multicast enabled embedded web player. It can even run as [the web server](http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html) ---

Hi, There are some [cross-browser examples here.](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12157210/cross-browser-embed-vlc-plugin) However, it looks like the cab version (for IE) isn’t available anymore, due to the cost associated in getting a signed activex control. Daren ---

I think it’s just quite hard right now to find a universal multi-protocol embedded web player… There are murmurings of heading towards a more interoperable standard, but for now if you want the least pain and most compatibility then you may have to pay for it - for example using the JWPlayer or Flowplayer premium offerings… Paul [edit] I shouldn’t reply late at night… I don’t think those premium players can do multicast - yet… You may be able to concoct something using our [Push Publishing](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-push-streams-to-cdns-and-other-services-push-publishing) module to another Wowza server or [other destinations](https://www.wowza.com/docs/sample-map-file-entries-for-stream-target-destinations-push-publishing%28with-sample-mapping-file-information%29), but that’s probably going beyond your original request. VLC still seems like best option even with its limitations. ---

Hi, I played around with embedding VLC as html code, but it’s a nightmare supporting various browsers. I could not find a simple html code for VLC that would at least work with IE, Firefox and Chrome. Do you have any examples?
