Streaming with AMS 5 without Flash plugin
Hi!
We have at our University the Adobe Media Server professional 5 for our VOD and live streaming needs. But since Adobe will eventually stop updating Flash player and the fact that the browsers slowly begin to stop supporting it (or at least make it difficult to use it by deactivating it by default), what are our solutions to use the AMS without Flash player?
Sure, it works with iOS by using HLS, but I would like to use HLS to stream on all browsers and not only on mobile but on desktop too (Windows, Mac, Android,...) I know there is the HLS.js library which can bring HLS on desktop with HTML5 players. But i tried it on our server and it doesn't work. I've seen that we need to enable CORS on the Apache server but i did not see any clear way to do it.
Did someone has been able to do that and if so, how to do it? I think Adobe should give us an official way to configure the AMS for streaming without Flash. I've searched on this forum and have seen a couple of thread about that but none of them have been answered correctly and resolved.
If i can't have any way to do it, we will have to leave AMS and go for Wowza (or another solution) which seem to offer that. Or at least, there is much more development on that side by supporting much more protocols.
Thanks for your answers,
Sylvain
