It’s very easy to encode m3u8 with EPISODE PRO 6.5. I would like to know if the multi bit rate MBR video formats encoded with episode, can be supported in HYPE 3
@DavidA@Oscar:
You can do this today, with very little code, but keep in mind that the application/x-mpegURL format isn’t supported outside of iOS/Safari & some Android devices.
It uses the Video.js player, but you could do this with the normal video element by using this code:
<video controls preload="auto" width="640" height="264" >
<source src="http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/prog_index.m3u8" type='application/x-mpegURL' />
<!-- Use some fallback for other browsers -->
</video>
If you plan to support many borwsers/devices, I think it’s a good idea to consider video encoding/hosting services like: Vimeo, FlowPlayer drive, etc. Those services will take care of the “fallback to other browsers/devices”. And they will also they take care of the encodings.
Then embedding their player into Hype is also easy.
