So I'm trying to setup jwplayer to display a VOD stream on iPad and I'm really confused.
I've read in this forum that:
- HLS is not supported in flash
- you cannot have the quality menu in neither ios nor android
So what's the capture on this page?
http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1430240-hls-adaptive-streaming
and what is the point of adaptative bitrate in HLS?
BTW the fullscreen icon doesn't work on iPad on this page in Safari.
Hey
1)HLS is supported in Flash om a desktop if you own the Premium license or above
2) HLS is also supported in iOS by default under HTML5
3) Quality control is automatic on iOS/android, there is no menu
The point of HLS is it's well supported with the right JW Player license and it is adaptive streaming which is really a no-brainer
Thanks for the clarification.
About Flash, it also support custom smil file from wowza, which one should I choose?
Our player can take an HLS stream and play the video on both desktops (assuming the user has the Flash plugin) and mobile devices. Smil’s usually imply RTMP streams, which would not work on mobile.
