We want to purchase FMS but are in dilema because of flash streaming protocol is being depreciated. My question is what will happend when new HTML5 protocol will become standard for Android, IE, Mozilla, etc  (like HLS is now for iOS)? Will we just upgrade the FMS? What if WebM format will become standard? So my question is about the future...If we implement our video infrastructure with your FMS, would we need to abandon it after a year or two or will Adobe apply future protocol streaming standards for HTML5?

    Thanks for interesting question.

    FMS has never depreciated the rtmp (flash streaming protocol). It is just that, it has embraced the new HTML5 streaming protocols like HDS and HLS to go along with the fast moving changes in the video streaming technology.

    There are still few good points that might force you to still stream your video on rtmp rather than HTML5 protocols.

    If you have read about the FMS 4.5 and 5.0 releases, they were majorly on the front to provide best streaming support for the HLS and HDS tecnology. We understand the need to provide the best support for the protocols that are required by our customers to stream their videos.

    Thanks
