Internet media type: application/vnd.apple.mpegurl

Yeah that’s good for the macOS but shouldn't it be pointed out that under Windows we use “application/x-mpegURL” instead?

Silverlight is an unrelated idea. Concussious (talk) 07:31, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

moved to article and split to two tables

A table of authoring tools would be good, too.

vod vs live

that table of client support was rather cryptic, what's the difference between VOD and Live? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.191.60.249 (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ALAC

I couldn't understand this sentence. It may need to be clarified.

"In this case is generated a different flows with the same quality video and locations are listed in the index file."

Thank you. 219.89.201.169 (talk) 22:18, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mozilla Firefox?

In the list of Clients I am missing Mozilla Firefox. Can someone add the relevant info (I am unfortunately not technical enough to do this) or is there a specific reason to omit Firefox? Regards from beautiful Hamburg in Germany 91.47.186.218 (talk) 14:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WMP / DirectShow lav filters

With lav filters m3u8 and hls / applehttp can be opened in GraphEdit with Seeking working (most simple DirectShow supporting players) but support with WMP may not work (at least with version I have). 91.155.16.162 (talk |Contribs) 11:21, 19 July 2018

Firefox mobile deprecation

most recent patch notes for Firefox mobile for android indicate this protocol/feature is now deprecated in that specific browser. may be useful to add a blurb about that as well as why the decision was made 2601:580:C201:42E0:DE54:C6F5:A38D:18DD (talk) 16:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At WWDC 2016 Apple announced[11]

The announcement attributed to this source does not seem to appear in the cited website. The page presents a list of talks from the conference, where the only one that seems relevant is about validating video streams. According to the video's transcript, fragmenting MP4s is never mentioned. Paradox (talk) 23:24, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MediaMTX HLS Server Implementation

MediaMTX has support for serving HLS streams, but is not listed in the server implementations. HLS has been supported since version 0.16.0, released May 2021 under the prior project name "RTSP Simple Server".

As of the latest version (1.10.0), it supports all three HLS formats. Original mpeg-ts, fragmented mp4, and low-latency.
