Maybe they don't want to pay for the flash media server license? With HTML5 you can also target mobile a lot easier (though I'm sure a downloadable application would be better).
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoHTML5 is a misnomer; it's only used for UI, actual playback is done via a plugin. I read in the past that they chose Silverlight because it allows them to dynamically control video quality based on fluctuating connection speed. Has Adobe not built that into flash yet?
- windsurfer 15y agoNo, only for p2p streaming. You'd need a flash media server to get dynamic video quality from a server, so it's not built into flash.
