wowza player sdk for native apps?

[Vijayakumara_Nv]

Hi,
Thanks for the great product, have few queries…

I found that ‘wowza html player’ is available, it can be embed in our own web page for live/video play.
Is there any similar kind of native player(or SDK) available for Android, iOS/Mac and Windows(in .NET) ? If so, please provide references…

Sorry for not looking at apis…
Say, I use Wowza for both recorded and live videos.
To allow authorized users to access videos in my website, you’ve an option as ‘javascript embed html player’.

What I’m looking is -
I have native apps for all the platforms.
I need your apis which gives me lists of desired recorded and live videos which I own and app will display them.
If there is native player SDK available, my app will play above listed videos using SDK provided…
If not available, is there any solutions you can suggest me to play in native apps?

And another question is -
Is it possible to download videos offline and playback similar to as in your online protected streaming solution?

Thanks,
Vijayakumara Nv

Hi Vijayakumara,

Have you looked at the GoCoder SDKs for Android and iOS? Here is a link to the main page of the docs: https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-gocoder-sdk

You can stream mp4 files (VOD) you have recorded or downloaded @Vijayakumara Nv, but only through Wowza Streaming Engine.

Not an option through Streaming Cloud at this time nor through a GoCoder SDK app. Cloud and the GoCoder SDK apps are for live only. Through Engine you can stream a previously recorded live video or an mp4 video file and play it back as live stream or as on-demand on any device. Hope this helps.

Thanks Amara and Rose…

I understood as, there is no native player SDK to integrate with our app, only option to view videos is play them in web browser…

And is there any apis which gives me all my videos so that I’ll play them in webview?

** Yes @Vijayakumara Nv, you can use the HTML5 video tag to access the native player and/or view streams in webview. Wowza Player does not support this, but a few other players like JW Player. Theo and Bitmovin do. This is for live or VOD.

** With iOS devices, playback of HLS (m3u8) streams are generally passed on to the native player. This means that the Wowza Player (and other web players) would pass on control to the AVVideoPlayer.”
