> The paying of creators definitely anti-competitive. Its actually very common practice and has been for a very long time (way before 2007). Once people get mindshare, they get offers. The top you tubers, twitch streamers, etc have negot

Same in the HLS days. What used to be called “source” was just a remux from rtmp to ts.

None follow apples spec because it’s a month old. It’s not for technical reasons. Like it or not (TBH I’m in the fence about it), it WILL be the standard.

You would look at how much that costs and make a different decision. It can’t scale economically to Twitch size without massive amounts of investment into POPs (source: I built the HLS transcoding stack/infrastructure and HTML5 player

My guess, 5 years. And the cisco “optimizations” May work well for a conference call with a perfectly still camera and low spacial and temporal information density. Applying the same techniques to handheld action video would produce very po

That sounds expensive for no reason.

“Less expensive” only if you don’t count the license cost, which is still unknown in HEVC.

I386 as an architecture, not a CPU family line (although they have a relationship). In this context, it means dropping 32 bit application support in favor of 64.

I’ll probably get a lot of hate for this, but if a guy did the same thing, there is a good change he would be praised for “career hacking”, and working the system to his advantage. Spending time with the other team would be good communicati

I have, and the companies then failed. Because without the developers, bugs weren't getting fixed, and new features weren't getting developed. If they trimmed from the middle, killing the layer of middle management first, they may

“Mediocrity + two years of tech experience = six figures. Kids who can code and are two years out of school, who are mediocre, are making $100,000-plus in the market. What’s worse is that they believe they’re worth it. If you can code, yay

I didn’t know sequential scrub was in this release. Really excited about that one.

The server could continue to serve ads until the client reports back that one ad was rendered. If the message is blocked, the content would never be delivered. Thus making ad blockers content blockers. I'm not saying this is a good thi

These approaches did not fall out of favor because programmers were so much smarter, as you are implying. They fell out of favor because they were impractical at the time. Eaither because there was no language with critical odoption, the c

In Common Encryption (encrypted mp4 files) 8 bytes IVs are a fully supported and documented. And sometimes preferred for compatibility. CENC mode even uses CTR, so the IV is simply incremented every block.

the issue becomes alignment of business incentives with individuals incentives. Employees who work just to check the boxes on the promotion doc do better in the system then people who move the business forward regardless if it is necessary

Or maybe you just had a good manager. It not fair to judge the whole company because it was ok for you. I came into amazon via acquisition. My manager never explained the process to me, and I wast even aware there were promotion documents f

Correct. Every user get the same key. That is why a real DRM system (which this article is not) has the complexity around secure key delivery and secure playback.

Netflix is not one key per user. It's one (or more) keys per title. But every user get the same key. What is describes in the post is NOT DRM. It is encryption. DRM add a secure player (that comes with your browser) along with a server

Don't confuse DASH and HTML5. DASH was announced VERY shortly after HLS (within the same year). And both of these predate modern video on the web. HTML5 video does not play DASH anyway. MSE can play the same binary format as DASH, but

The player is a small part of the entire platform. Flash will be completely removed next year.

by slimscsi 11y ago
We have been using HLS exclusively for about two years now. The flash player plays the HLS stream. We will remove flash completely in 2016.

Normally Im pretty cynical, but this will be based on their open source VP10 video codec. So you can run a version you modified and compiled yourself if you wish. Besides user tracking belongs in the player, not the codec. :)

This is a sales pitch masquerading as educational. It is designed to be deceptive. Why is there not a checkbox for "supported on over one billion iOS devices" where HLS is checked and DASH had a big red X? "HTML5 Support&quo
