I've spent a lot of time the last 2 days building a prototype so I could answer my own questions. I still have questions I'm a bit shaky about. The API notes do have bits and pieces, but you have to do a lot of digging to find what you are looking for. I think it would be nice if there was more documentation on streaming videos.
However, this is not transcoded - correct? With raw=1, the html5 video player does play the file back. The current URL's we get back look something like: This works - but I think it is streaming the actual file no matter the device requeting it (and no concerns for bandwidth).
We then get a URL for that file, pass it to the video player. Your browser does not support HTML5 video.Īre there any API's or ways to access the m3u file? It would solve some issues we are running into.Ĭurrently, we have a prototype that gets a list of video files. Sample code below (although I am not using a valid URL.) These play quite nicely in the html5 video player. The m3u file has a 720p, 480p, and 360p URLs. I think if there were, the customer I am working with would be quite happy as it handles a bunch of questions/concerns they have over the current API's I'm using. From what I've read, there are currently no API's for this. We stumbled across an m3u file that must be the HLS streams.
