Play HLS with HTML5

Dallox picture Dallox · May 21, 2015 · Viewed 26k times · Source

So i'm trying to play HLS streams on HTML5 without using Flash. We've tried many video players but they all relay on a flash player. My question, is it possible to play HLS streams (any) on HTML5 without using Flash?

(I know of the https://github.com/RReverser/mpegts but it doesn't work on mobile and is pretty laggy.)

HLS is not supported by all browsers. I use a jwPlayer which supports both flash and HTML5 streaming (when available). Support for HLS streaming unfortunately still needs to rely on Flash to work properly across various browsers. See HTML5 HLS browser support: http://www.jwplayer.com/html5/hls/
