I have a video which is in wmv format. And i want to have this in my ASP.NET MVC application and support streaming so that users can stream and start viewing the video. Also i do not want to rely on third part controls like flash/silverlight/quickplayer etc. How can i achieve?
html5 supports this video streaming. Please check http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_video.asp It doesn't rely on any third party plugins, if the browser can support html5 then it is simple. Most famous browsers supports more or less html5 features.
Thanks

I made a streaming server and a website to show the Video. I have tried with many HTML5 player. But problem is no player working without enable flash on browser. There are a website http://jagobd.com and its playing video even I block flash on this site. How they did it? and How can I get this kind of player open source? could you please give me any solution?
My streaming link is Rtmp
RTMP is a Flash technology, and only plays in Flash or other players that support it. No browser supports RTMP, and it's unlikely that any will in the future.
If you want to use a regular HTML5 player, you need to use a compatible streaming format. Consider DASH. While it doesn't have native support in-browser, it doesn't need it as it can be handled with MediaSource Extensions. Most modern browsers support MSE. Many encoders do as well, and you can use whatever static web hosting or CDN you want.
There are other options for video distribution as well, if you have special streaming requirements.
I want to embed an RTMP Live Stream in a HTML document. I want to use HTML5 instead of flash (That it can work under *nix/osx/mobile devices).
How can I do this? Do I need to use 3rd party libraries? When yes: Can you recommend one?
I've found an answer on StackOverflow but it wasn't very helpful. Since the answer was from 2011 I guess it's okay to ask this question again.
RTMP was designed for Flash and works with Flash. I'm not aware of a way to embed it in HTML5 without a Flash engine.
Considering the above you could:
write or find a specialized player that can talk to a RTMP server and
play the stream without Flash, but this beats your intention of
embedding the video in a web page
or
create two streams based on the same source for each target device. This can be achieved by transcoding the source material in multiple formats or live transcoding and re-streaming of the RTMP source. You could use HLS as an alternative protocol which is supported on a greater number of platforms, even if it has its hiccups with certain versions of Android (especially 4.4.3 and 4.4.4)
There are paid and freeware solutions for RTMP re-streaming, like Nimble or Wowza Streaming Engine to name a few.
I need some help/suggestion . I'm building a website using PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS and I'm stuck at a point.
I have few queries regarding Audio and Video capture from webcam using HTML5.
Is it possible to capture audio and video (Audio and Video means , audio separately, video which will record the audio too [for an example say some one is singing]) from webcam using html5 and PHP or JavaScript code and store it at local pc or in a Live servers pace where I want to ?
Also if it is not possible using html5 , can anybody please suggest a solution? May be using flash or some 3rd party application which I can use in my website with no restriction!
Can anyone help?
You can rent a server with Flash Media such as www.influxis.com and develop the capture part using flash.
HTML5 supports getUserMedia, as documented at http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/getusermedia.html
A good article on this (including examples that actually work, with code) is available here http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/
I am building Self Hosted Video tutorial website.
I want to use HTML5 Player But with just one single Video format (mp4). But problem is that in some browsers like opera MP4 format is not supported.
I know for this i have to add multiple formats in html5 video player but having multiple versions (formats) of the same video will occupy multiple times of space in hosting.
Please give Suggestions.
There is no support for html5 before IE 9.i think you should use Video.Js.The Video.js API allows you to control the video through javascript or trigger event listeners, whether the video is playing through HTML5, flash, or another playback technology.
you can download it from here.

While searching for difference between HTML4 and HTML5 I came across the point that :
HTML5 brings a whole new dimension to web world. It can embed video on web-pages without using any special software like Flash
So if we will consider a sample code in HTML4 then for embeding video then that will be:
<embed src="MyVideo.mp4"/>
While the above code can be written in HTML5 will be:
<video src="MyVideo.mp4"></video>
So what can I see is just the syntax difference. Apart from that what else is the difference.
Does this mean if we will use HTML5 to embed a video then the browser is not going to use any third parties software to play the video?
The idea regarding the tag is that the browsers should have native support for it, without the use of any additional software. The standard is not yet ready, and one of the points not agreed upon is regarding what codecs to support. For more information you could have a look at the html5 video wiki page which includes a list of which browsers support what formats.
If you are planning on implementing the html5 video tag, you should provide backwards compatibility. One way is to use the VideoJS library, which will fall back to flash, if the browser doesn't support the video source.
The current HTML5 draft specification does not specify which video formats browsers should support in the video tag. User agents are free to support any video formats they feel are appropriate. In cases where decoders are not built into the browser, the format support will be dictated by the multimedia framework of the operating system.

VideoJS is an HTML5 Video Player, built with Javascript and CSS, with a fallback to a Flash video player for when the browser doesn't support HTML5 video.
