Question by Kike P · Jan 19, 2016 at 03:18 AM ·

Select the best Wowza link for each device

Hello:

When you start a stream, Wowza provides you with multiple links: MPEG DASH, Apple HLS, Adobe RTMP, Adobe HDS, MS Smooth, iOS and Android.

After some testing, I've realized that in some Android devices, for example, the iOS link works, but the Android link doesn't.

I was thinking if there is a way to select the first working Wowza link for each device, dinamically testing each link(with some script that executes when he enters the page) before giving it to the user.

Thank you.

Hi,

The best approach is to have some browser-aware code that checks against the various available browser agents across devices.

There's some very good example code available here.
