Hi there...

Re: http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying ... npapi.html

Since, as I understand it VLC is an NPAPI-based plugin (we're using flvlc for the windowless feature) - is there an initiative to creat a PPAPI-based flvlc plugin that offers the same windowless mode that we can simply swap out?


Thanks.

I guess I am answering my own question here, but worth considering.

MPEG-DASH -

Microsoft Open Technologies (https://msopentech.com/blog/2013/07/17/ ... -standard/) has contributed to a client-side library called dash.js (http://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/dash/?p=792), which integrates DASH using the HTML5 video element.

Since we need have RTSP streams, we may end up using a Wowza server (http://www.wowza.com/media-server/feature/mpeg-dash) for transcoding.
