I'm trying to play HLS LiveStreaming in HTML5.

but it can't play. Can anyone tell me why ?

I'm using the Windows XP of the Safari browser 5.1.7.

HTML Code


<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Title of the document</title>

</head>

<body>

<video src="http://192.168.0.1:8134/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream/livestream.m3u8" height="640" width="360">

  Your browser does not support the video tag.

One more thing.

Circumstantial evidence shows that <video> tag on iOS and MAC platforms is a gimmick in a sense that it is not a distinct original implementation but rather something that uses QuickTime player. In other words - it is a plugin like Flash Player in a sheepskin of <video> element.

So much for HTML5 cross-platform promised land propaganda.

I don't believe Apple HLS manifests can play on windows platforms at all.

Allegedly it will start happening on windows 8.
