YouTube now defaults to HTML5

From youtube-eng.blogspot.fr - January 28, 2015 6:03 AM

Four years ago, we wrote about YouTube’s early support for the HTML5 <video> tag and how it performed compared to Flash. At the time, there were limitations that held it back from becoming our preferred platform for video delivery. Most critically, HTML5 lacked support for Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) that lets us show you more videos with less buffering.

Over the last four years, we’ve worked with browser vendors and the broader community to close those gaps, and now, YouTube uses HTML5 <video> by default in Chrome, IE 11, Safari 8 and in beta versions of Firefox.

Adobe adds HTML5 support to Primetime DRM

From www.zdnet.com - September 28, 2014 11:14 AM

Adobe Systems has made some upgrades to its Primetime Digital Rights Management platform that the software vendor said will bring its content protection service into the world of browser-based video.

Adobe announced Primetime DRM is now available on apps without a Flash Player plugin, as well as via HTML5 on major Web browsers. The changes are significant as they represent Adobe's shift away from its Flash-player approach in favor of using emerging HTML5 extensions that support video embedded directly into Web pages.

Streaming Standards for Worship : how to incorporate HTML5, Flash and DASH into your video tech plans

From svconline.com - December 15, 2011 5:01 PM

If you produce streaming video in the worship market and have your ear to the ground, you may be experiencing sensory overload right now. HTML5 is being promoted as a panacea for all plug-in-related woes; Adobe threw the mobile market into turmoil by ceasing development of the Flash Player, and there’s a new standard called DASH that supposedly will create a unified approach for adaptive streaming to all connected devices. Seems like getting that sermon out over the Internet has gotten a lot more complicated.

Well, maybe not. In this article I’ll describe what’s actually happening with HTML5, Flash, and DASH, and make some suggestions as to how to incorporate these changes into your video-related technology plans.

OVC 2011 Developer session : Standards for HTTP Adaptive Streaming

From www.openmediadevelopers.org - October 23, 2011 2:59 AM

One of the most popular features of modern Flash players is the ability to adapt the bitrate of the streamed video to the available bandwidth, also called HTTP adaptive streaming. HTML5 browsers (with the notable exception of Safari, which supports Live Streaming) do not yet suport this feature because it has not been standardised yet in a codec-independent manner.

ISO/MPEG have developed the DASH specification, which may be applied in a codec-independent manner and therefore be a good option for HTML5.

While there are several solutions for HTTP adaptive streaming of MPEG video, none has been released for WebM, nor a standard set that works across media formats.

Experiments have been run in several frameworks for WebM to see how it can work in comparison to MPEG. This session gives the developers an opportunity to report on their experiences and to discuss how to move forward for standardisation across browsers and codecs.

BroadThinking 14: Forget Multiscreen, We're Heading Towards ONE Screen

From blog.eltrovemo.com - September 30, 2014 8:31 PM

This year the EBU BroadThinking Conference was sounding like a holistic swirl, a milestone in the trend of technology to define sets that are greater than the sum of their parts, through creative evolution. « Where Broadcast Meets BroadBand », you get some interesting fusion effect occurring and diluting the traditional boundaries of the screens, with the handheld devices being part of the big screen experience or extending it rather than trying to scalp it, in an environment where all the devices converge towards a restricted set of standards rather than tracing their own line.

While we by default think that standardization kills creativity, events like BroadThinking show that it’s the opposite: if we gather energies to solve common problems together, we can both come up with a more evolved solution and concentrate on what’s important past the pixel grid: the user experience, so consistent across screens that you forget there’s more than one screen involved.

NPAPI deprecation: developer guide

From www.chromium.org - September 11, 2014 5:32 PM

Even though users will be able to let NPAPI plug-ins run by default in January, we encourage developers to migrate of off NPAPI as soon as possible. Support for NPAPI will be completely removed from Chrome in a future release, probably by the end of 2014.

The ability to adapt media streaming to an individual consumer is critical in delivering high-quality content to a large audience. In the past this capability has been provided by technologies such as Silverlight’s smooth streaming and Quicktime’s HTTP live streaming. The Media Source Extensions to the HTML media element provide the capability to adapt a stream to an individual consumer on the modern web. Html5rocks has put together a great example of how to use the Media Source Extensions to implement some of these common use cases.

Content Decryption Module Interface Specification: An open interface for enabling HTML5 Encrypted Media Extensions in open source browsers

From download.microsoft.com - January 5, 2014 2:33 PM

The W3C HTML working group is developing media extension specifications for HTML5 to enable the delivery of commercial video to consumers over the Web. One of these is the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) specification. The current specification describes an open interface which may be used to implement an EME-compliant Content Decryption Module (CDM) within a User-agent, providing access to a platform DRM component which supports the defined Content Decryption Module interface (CDMi).

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming Gets Serious in 2012

From broadbandgear.net - January 12, 2012 12:38 AM

In a decade or so down the line, experts looking back likely will say that 2012 was the year cable operators and the rest of the telecommunications industry pivoted from basic “get it out there” multiscreen platforms to those that work with a far higher level of precision and efficiency.

That’s the plan, at least. What happens remains to be seen. What is clear is that the industry is poised to take several important steps beyond the “one off” catch-as-catch-can approach that has dominated to date. “The year 2011 saw most — if not all — the major service providers world-wide investigating adaptive streaming, ranging from lab investigations to highly publicized deployments,” wrote Yuval Fisher, chief technology officer of RGB Networks in response to emailed questions. “The market has matured quickly, with operators’ expectations quickly rising from the initial ‘help me just see how this works’ to ‘I need high video quality, high-availability equipment.’”

The trials and tribulations of HTML video in the post-Flash era

From arstechnica.com - November 22, 2011 6:02 PM

Adobe reversed course on its Flash strategy after a recent round of layoffs and restructuring, concluding that HTML5 is the future of rich Internet content on mobile devices. Adobe now says it doesn’t intend to develop new mobile ports of its Flash player browser plugin, though existing implementations will continue to be maintained.

Adobe’s withdrawal from the mobile browser space means that HTML5 is now the path forward for developers who want to reach everyone and deliver an experience that works across all screens. The strengths and limitations of existing standards will now have significant implications for content creators who want to deliver video content on the post-flash Web.

- Can DRM be made to play nice with open standards?

- Netflix stands behind DASH

- DASH and DRM
