WebM Streaming

Any news about it?

Hi

Not that I’m aware of.

Richard,

Six months have passed. According to http://technews.tmcnet.com/channels/ip-media-server/articles/137030-wowza-media-server-wows-em.htm you have WebM support lying around. Why don’t you release it?

Thanks,

Gili

Hi guys,

It looks like this feature has been dropped, is this because it does not work as well as rtmp over flash?

Or that browsers don’t handle it well?

Hello! When will be included this feature?

Hi Guys,

I searched in Wowza Docs but couldn’t find support to WebM. There’s an increasing need to stream to HTML5 players and it must be compatible with all browsers, without plugins. Dash seems to be a great solution to this problem, Chrome and Internet Explorer executes HTML5 players and Dash without problems, but Opera and Firefox just accepts WebM and not MP4, as far as I know. Is there a timeframe on Wowza’s side to support WebM? Or, without Flash and Silverlight Fallback, do we have another alternative?

Erik, take a look at this guide. This functionality is still in "preview’ status:

How to transcode live streams using WebM

I hope this answers your question.

When Wowza Streaming Engine will be released ?

Wowza Streaming Engine 4.1 is now available:

Here are the release notes

No mentioning of WebM. So that’s still not supported?

We are now at version 4.3, no mentioning of WebM, when can we expect it? There is more and more demand for HTML5 players.

Kind regards, Erik

Hello,

Please see the transcoding article below for the ingest and out bound streaming codecs that are supported followed by an article specific for WebM which has a preconfigured transcoding template that can be downloaded.

Hello,

Please see the links from my last post.

WebM live streaming is now an option as of Wowza Streaming Engine v4.5.

On Demand WebM is still on the Roadmap but again I can not give a timeline for it’s implementation.

It is still slated for future release but I do not have a time frame.:confused:

There are plans to support webm soon? A customer requires time and all … Thanks.

When joined together in a single unit. It is the same in the same boat so I took it.:เย็น:

No, it has not been released. We continue to consider when we formally added support for WebM.

Now you can see this is star now. You give this thread in past

As for webm streaming to wowza im not sure about if you can do it now, but i am using a set of software that can convert the video to webm to upload my video to some certain websites, i think you may use it later. It can compress mp4 and convert your video to any other formats fast and efficiently.
