Hi there,
Since Wowza Player is going to be sunsetted next January, what are the alternatives? I’ve tried the following and none of them are great:
JWPlayer - expensive and I could not get HLS to work (followed the Wowza tutorial exactly, waiting on JWPlayer support to respond).
Flowplayer - Nice player, but needs a complicated plugin to use HLS
Video.js - open source, but also complex - likely the best choice but has a learning curve.
Does anyone know of anything else for HLS livestreaming?
I like how easy it is to customize the Wowza player. Is there a replacement in the works?
Thanks,
Jill
