There are several tutorials for different kinds of live streaming here:

They each cover configuration and playback for iOS (Cupertino) streaming.
The html5 with video tag will be something like this:

Thanks Richard. So,this will enable the folks using firefox4,google chrome and IE9 to view live/recorded streams without any Flash plugin right?
We do have a preview of WebM (HTML5 support) here:
http://www.wowza.com/labs.html
We have no definitive date as to when this will be available.

Thank you Charlie. That really gives me some hopes. But, I'm eagerly waiting for that to get released :)
No, this won't work in any of those browsers. This work in Safari on iOS devices mostly. The only desktop browser it works in is Safari on Mac OSX Snow Leopard or higher.

Then,how do I stream to those browsers ?
Youtube seems to have this html5 working on their site.I was able to see videos without the flash plugin. How do I enable similar functionality using wowza?

Does the OS have to be Mac OSX? Can I stream to safari on a windows machine?
Streaming to desktop browsers using Wowza requires Flash or Silverlight plugin.

Does wowza plan to support html5 for browsers in the future?
If so,is there a beta version available which I can try?
Thanks

There is no short-term plan to support html video tag in other browsers.

If you are referring to Cupertino streaming, only the only desktop browser that is supported is Safari on Mac OSX Snow Leopard or higher. vod and live both work.

We use the following code:
The link to stream on IOs is the following:
We added an alias (and uncommented the alias tags in the Application.xml)
But we get the error:
at IOs devices.
We use Flash media encoder.
How can we fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

First, why bother with StreamNameAlias in this case? If you are publishing a stream named "myStream.sdp", play that stream.
If you are using push encoder (eg fmle), you don't need to use StreamManager. The stream alias map files run when you use StreamManager. You can use play alias map file.
Also, the StreamNameAlias system resolves the first match in an alias map file. You have two "mStream" rules, the 2nd one is unreachable.
I don't understand the last rule in your stream alias map file.

At first, thanks for the reply.
When I use the code this way:
I get the following error:

The video playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the video used features your browser did not support
First remove the StreamNameAlias package.
In your encoder, make sure you have select Format h.264, then click little wrench icon next to format and select Baseline 3 profile. If MP3 audio, make it Stereo 44100Hz.
Make the Stream name "myStream.sdp"
Configure an a live application following this tutorial, and make sure you follow the Cupertino configuration steps:
http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?36-How-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-(RTMP-or-RTSP-RTP-based-encoder)
Then test in Flash with Wowza example LiveVideoStreaming:
Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]:1935/live
Stream: myStream.sdp
Then test in iOS device.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I recently have reinstalled the encoder because of some problems with the aac
license and I did not check that the encoder was not set to h.264 Format.
Thanks again.

Any updates for this? (wowza server 2/3)
The only way to use html5 video tag for streaming is to use iOS devices or safari on mac? It's not possible on windows at all?

That is correct. There's some discussion here:

I tried the code
<video controls="controls"> <source src="http://localhost:1935/live/myStream/playlist.m3u8"/> </video>
It works fine for the test in Flash with Wowza example LiveVideoStreaming, but for some reason I can't play it through an iOS device. It just shows the player with a crossed out play button.
I've followed all the instructions with regards to the fmle encoder and the wowza streaming setup. Is there something I've missed?
You can't use "localhost", it has to be the IP or domain name of the server running Wowza.

Have any version available for this today?
It's possible streaming to others desktop browsers now, or the only way to use html5 audio/video tag for streaming is to use iOS devices or safari on mac?
Thanks.
