Dear forum members,
in most of the tutorials for the Wowza Server it is recommended to use the prefix “:mp4” directly before the video file. E.g: rtmp://[wowza-server]:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4. In the test player of our installation (4.*) I leave out the prefix “:mp4” and the video will also be played.
Maybe it is important:
-
I set the Default Stream Prefix in the Server Setup to “mp4”
-
most of our video files are mp4 (h.264)
-
we have a few m4v and mov-files
-
we do not have flv-videos
-
we also have a few audio files (only mp3)
-
we do on-demand and live-streaming
My question is: Is there any (other) reason why I have to use the “:mp4”-prefix? E.g problems with some mobile devices, media player, etc.?
thank you & best regards,
Anton
