Great, Quicktime. If only it were available in a more open format, like Flash.

  Apple has documented HTTP Live Streaming as an Internet-Draft, the first stage in the process of submitting it to the IETF as a proposed Internet standard.

    Fabulous. Except until it actually becomes reality, you're stuck with Quicktime (or if you're on Linux, you're just plain stuck).

      It doesn't work with anything for me on Win7.

      if ffmpeg supports it, wouldn't mplayer be able to play it?
• onedognight 16y ago
  ffmpeg supports Apple's live streaming format which is open.
  • mambodog 16y ago
    As for a player, I believe there is support for it in the VLC nightlies.

      Just tried it, it doesn't have support in it.

        It works, for me, in mplayer: mplayer http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1010qwoeiuryfg/sl.m3u8 http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1010qwoeiuryfg/sl.m3u8

  I think martythemaniak is making a joke about Apple claiming that Android is not really "open."
  • martythemaniak 16y ago
    Partly yes. A few months ago I saw the google IO link here, clicked on it and worked (Youtube live stream). I see this, I click it, and I get a half-broken page telling me I can't view this. I then have the option of fishing for a URL, googling how to use it on my system, follow the advice (installing any codecs or applications if necessary) and finally maybe viewing it. Now, what does Apple say about user experience again?

      > Now, what does Apple say about user experience again? That you'd have a better one if you were using their products. That's the whole sales pitch, after all.
