- OedipusRex 12y agoI hope this isn't a sign of things to come, they really seem to be clamping down on third-party competitors on their platforms.
- evinugur 12y agoI'm not even sure what the strategical advantage of limiting the stream in the first place. People who can't access it still want information about Apple, and often resort to 3rd party blogs, or someone else streaming the stream. I understand why apple has a closed door stance on technology, but limiting people from participating in a live event about Apple seems foolish and with no obvious benefit
- thesimon 12y agoReduce server load?
- derefr 12y agoIt's not Safari-only, it's just a Quicktime RTMP stream, like all their streams have always been. You should be able to watch it in any browser with a Quicktime plugin.
- auxbuss 12y agoFailed for me on Firefox with a QuickTime plug-in. Fine on Safari.
- aroch 12y agoIt uses Apple HTTP-LiveStream library which only Safari has support for (even though its opensource and unencumbered)... It has little to do with lock in
- ewoodrich 12y agoVLC on Windows plays it fine from the direct stream. http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/14pijnadfpvkjnfvpijhabdfvpijbadfv09/m3u8/atv_mvp.m3u8 http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/14pijnadfpv... EDIT: I shouldn't say fine, the stream keeps dropping out completely or just has audio. But I think even the Safari people are having that problem.
