More exciting live streaming from Flumotion with vp8 and webm

So a test pattern is pretty boring and a screenshot of it in even more boring. I have now setup a test stream which is streaming a TV channel from the Astra 28.2 satellite with DVB. So here it is, try it in your WebM enabled browser. That means Opera beta or Firefox Developer Preview and not Chrome/Chromium because of a bug in their implementation.

    Good work and works great in epiphany too :)

    great work! now it works in the webm firefox but not smooth enough, so pre-fetch and cache might need for the browser’s player.

    yes, the low (or non-adaptive) amount of buffering in Firefox is noticable on this kind of bitrate.

    Works here in 10.60 on Debian Unstable i386 with just installed libvpx and gstreamer (from Debian repository). This is so nice.

    Shame, I’m using Chrome myself all the time (it’s easier on my ancient computer) Is it expected to support Chrome in the near future?

    Live streaming is great and it is only going to become more popular over the next few years! I really hope you managed to overcome the Chrome issues.

    I can’t get it to work in Firefox either.

    The player comes up but nothing happens.

    Strange. For me it didn’t work in Firefox or Safari (player appeared but that’s all) or IE (not even a player). But Chrome _did_ work, albeit for only about a minute before it got stuck. Looked pretty good while it did, though.

    This is excellent the flumotion test stream is already popular
    once all the bugs are worked out.

    It’s so awkward! Why it doesn’t work in Firefox? what’s the problem?
