We see this on our own website, plus analytics providers like Statowl show aggregate breakdowns. Was that an estimate or do you have actual stats? With all the buzz about HTML5, why do you think that number is so high? SMM: You've commented publicly that the installed base for Flash was about 99 percent. The browser (or Flash) has to provide support for H.264. SMM: So, if a Firefox user doesn't have the Flash Player installed, they can't play HLS (or H.264 in general).
WHAT IS JW PLAYER MANUAL
We there use Flash, for consistency across desktops and additional features we can supply (like a menu for manual bitrate selection). On Safari for Mac, we have two options, since it has both Flash and HTML5 HLS support. JW: The player relies on the Adobe Flash plug-in to provide HLS support on desktops and on the HTML5 element to provide HLS support on devices (iOS).
SMM: Does the player provide native H.264 playback capability or does it rely on H.264 playback provided by other modules, like Internet Explorer or Safari, or the Flash Player? We caught up with Jeroen Wijering, the creator of the JW Player, who was kind enough to answer questions about how the JW Player works and its potential impact on DASH. It also raises questions about the importance of the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) spec, which was supposed to deliver the same capability, but is not yet available in the marketplace. One key new feature is support for Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), which enables desktop computers to play HLS streams, and for video publishers to support desktop and mobile viewers with one set of adaptive files. LongTail Video recently announced the release of JW Player 6, a major upgrade to the company's popular free and low-cost video player.
