I'll wrap up by saying that although live streaming to mulitple devices has gotten much easier even in the last year, there is still a butt load fragmentation that can make a developer looking to implement a solution pull his hair out.

A full history and workarounds regarding live streaming on Android can be found here: On most other Android devices, the rtsp stream can be opened with the device's native media player. Alternatively, you present Android users with a link to the rtsp stream that is generated by Wowza in it's default application configuration. Since everything I've read indicates that HLS is not supported on Android, I can only assume that this functionality is added by the individual manufacturers. In my opinion, nothing makes it easier to get your live streams running on all devices.Īlthough Android does not technically support HLS, I have found that on a number of Android devices, including Galaxy S4, and HTC One, using an HLS stream in a video tag works just like on iOS. You can read about HLS support in JWPlayer here:ĭo note that HLS support in JWPlayer is limited to their enterprise edition.Īll that said, I would really recommend checking out JWPlayer. I have also found the performance to be quite good. For my money, I prefer to use HLS for desktop, as I am only dealing with one protocol for live streams on all devices at the end of the day. I've been running live streams this way in flash on desktop.
In this case, you would use the same endpoint that you're using for iOS streams. Using a flash media player that supports HLS streams (such as JWPlayer). With a typical flash media player, such as JWPlayer using the tried and true RTMP method, as you described. Unfortunately, when it comes to desktop browsers you are still limited to using flash for live streams. HLS live streaming from Wowza to iOS devices works like a charm.
However, using Wowza, you can get your live stream onto basically any screen with a little effort. Currently most browsers on desktop do not support HLS via the HTML 5 video tag. The HTML 5 live streaming that you are using on iPhone is often referred to as "HLS".
