Amazon HTTP Live Streaming

Hey s2 folks. So I wanted to get a sense where Jason and team are at with integrating Amazon HTTP Live streaming as a fallback. Wouldn’t that solve issues with url protection since the media will be streamed as apposed to downloaded? Personally I think that would be great to have that integration.

Hi Luis.

I’m not sure what Amazon HTTP Live streaming is, but I know that s2Member can have protected files streamed from Amazon over RTMP. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› JW Player® & RTMP Protocol Examples[/hilite]

Hi Cristian, yes we are using that functionality already, however, HTTP live streaming is designed towards playback on the mobile devices and served from amazon. Hence, no need for HTML download fallback. It’s served over HTTP not RTMP.

Ah ok, didn’t know that.

I don’t know when/if s2Member will support it, but I’ll forward your request to Jason. :)

Thanks Cristian, yeah I think it’s definitely worth looking at especially with some of the discussion in these forums about securing urls for the html fallback to prevent downloading. With this method this is not an issue as the content is not being downloaded via HTTP but being streamed. In any event, thanks for the response.

Cool. :)
