Today videos are on almost every website. With Flash and the FLV-Player embeding them had been a nobrainer. But things have changed, there is HTML5 now all over the place and mobile devices give us new challenges. This talk will show you what to consider when it comes to bringing videos to the web which should work with any browser on any device on any bandwith.
17. Encoding
+ good quality
+ fast
+ batch processable
+ Row data stay in house (on the
continent)
- requires maintainance
- expensive for small volumes
- scales badly
automated, in House
21. Encoding
+ easy
+ cheap at small volumes
+ scales quite good
+ no need for maintainance
- row data leaves home
- slow
- limited in functionality
Cloud based
39. Distribution
+ consumes less bandwith, might be an
option for high traffic sites
+ works with almost any client (Set-top
boxes, old computers etc.)
+ easy skipping
++ out of the box bandwith detection
-- massive problems with firewalls
- problematic in combination with CDNs
Streaming server
44. Distribution
+ runs via http, needs just a webserver
+ works great with firewalls
+ can handle CDNs
+ build in bandwith detection
- runs natively only on iOS and MacOS
+ with some help from JWPlayer it runs on
almost every browsern
- a nightmare on Android
HLS (HTTP Live Streaming)
53. ColdFuson &
HTML5 video
• <cfmediaplayer> tag
supports HTML5 video
since CF10
• Player is based on OSMF
• Does not support multiple
resolutions
• Does support HDS, does
not support HLS
54. Conclusion
• provide mp4 and webm files
(ignore flv and ogg)
• provide them in 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p
and 1080p
• use HLS for iOS Devices
• favour HTML5 video over Flash
• provide Flash Fallback for IE8
• consider using JWPlayer instead of
<cfmediaplayer>
