HTML5 is a markup language, not a streaming transport. Apple used HTTP Live Streaming, which is tech they're trying to push as a new standard. It has certain technical benefits:

I believe the VLC nightly build has support for it, but Apple's not going to go out and tell people "Hey, go use this weird beta client to access the stream."
- Keyframe 16y agoYou are right, of course. I was using HTML5 as it is commonly used as an umbrella term for everything new and standards related on the web these days in my snark comment. Interestingly enough, I tried with VLC to no avail. I liked that new nano, seems like something we ought to have in the year 2010, straight out of future.
