Web Player supported to all devices

Wowza Streaming Engine

I am little confused to select a good website player which allows Wowza’s VOD Stream to play in all devices ( desktop, android, iphone, ipad ). Initially I tried with JwPlayer and found that it has some limitation in streaming protocol support.

JW Player Protocol limitation : http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12539/supported-video-and-audio-formats

In Flash mode, on all browsers, RTMP Streaming of MP4, FLV, AAC and MP3 files

In HTML5 mode, only on iOS, HTTP Live Streaming of MP4 and AAC files.

Android Limitation : http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

RTSP (RTP, SDP)

HTTP/HTTPS progressive streaming

HTTP/HTTPS live streaming draft protocol:

MPEG-2 TS media files only

Protocol version 3 (Android 4.0 and above)

Protocol version 2 (Android 3.x)

Not supported before Android 3.0

Note: HTTPS is not supported before Android 3.1.

After analyzing it, I tried with http protocol ( f4m and m3u8 ). But f4m does not work without flash support. So I planned to go with HTML5 player. Could you please tell me how to play Wowza’s VOD Stream ( rtmp / rtsp / http / etc ) in a web player that supports all devices ?

Please suggest a web player which support all devices with wowza streaming

Thanks in advance

Creating such a player which has support android, ios, W8, etc for both live and ondemand streaming is a very difficult one. Currently it has a lot to do with the transport mechanisms DASH, HLS, etc:
