Html5 player connect to FMS via rtmp (H.264). Is it possible in the future?

Hi,

I have a streaming service with FMS4, and I need in the future a html5 player, what play the H.264 videos from the FMS, BUT on the rtmp protocol, because the authetication and control of service is in a main.asc script on the FMS.

Other question is the live streaming from FMS to html5 videoplayer.

Thank's in advance!

I would not expect any browser to support RTMP on the <video> object in the future, and in order to make the transport reliable for html5, all browsers would need to support it. Adobe has no control over this... it is entirely up to the browser vendors to decide what streaming transports to implement in their browsers.

Consider that there is no streaming protocol defined in the HTML5 specification. This means that it is up to each browser vendor to decide what (if any) streaming protocol they want to support. I imagine it will be a good number of years before we can count on any single protocol for streaming working across all browsers.

For now, the only reliable means of delivering video to the browser using an HTML5 <video> tag is progressive download from an HTTP server.

i think you're going to need a good programmer to port the current service to use protocol other than rtmp, then try to use a widely used protocol that will continue being used in the future.
