Live stream content entry for IOS (without Akamai)

red5 is a rtmp server only, isn't ?

btw, I found a workaround. On the html page, when you set the embeded code, you can set flashvars with the hls source

(Solution from: http://html5video.org/wiki/Kaltura_HTML5_Configuration#Directly_play_m3u... and https://github.com/kaltura/mwEmbed/issues/160)

Example:

[EMBEDED_CODE]

window['doPlayCallback'] = function( playerId ){
console.log( 'kwidget doPlayCallback ' + playerId );
};
kWidget.embed({
'targetId': '[PLAYER_ID_FROM_EMBEDED_CODE]',
'wid': '_[PARTNER_ID]',
'uiconf_id' : '[UICONF_ID]',
'entry_id' : '[ENTRY_ID]',
'flashvars':{
'EmbedPlayer.ReplaceSources' : [
{
'type': 'application/vnd.apple.mpegurl',
'src': '[URL_FOR_M3U8_FILE]'
}
]
},
'readyCallback': function( playerId ){
console.log( "kWidget player ready: " + playerId );
var kdp = document.getElementById( playerId );
kdp.addJsListener( 'doPlay', 'doPlayCallback');
}
});

Now ... How can add this flashvars on kaltura directly (kmc/console, and no html modification) ? Can I change the custom_data field on entry table to set this ?

thanks !

Hi !
at the end, we hack the php to make this.

First, update the mwEmbed to the last (1.7.4.1). Then, get code from master

- Modify entry.php model to add getHlsStreamUrl, setHlsStreamUrl, getLiveStreamConfigurations and setLiveStreamConfigurations functions
- Modify playManifestAction.class.php to use this functions on entryType::LIVE_STREAM (functions serveAppleHttp and getSecureHdUrl)
- Add file kLiveStreamConfiguration.php

Now, we can add hls_stream_url and live_stream_configurations to the custom_data field of entry.
