We are developing a site that uses opentok.js library to do live streaming. We are using the "safari mode" since we have to support iOs devices(mobile Safari), Android devices (mobile Chrome) and desktop (Mac and Pc)(Safari or Chrome) devices. Does OpenTok archiving support archiving streams in this mode ?. Ideally we would like to have an mp4 file of one of the streams in a session archived. Are there limitations on browser versions for archiving ?
Yes, archiving will work in "Safari mode", for both composed and individual archives.
The only limitation is that, in "Safari mode", some android clients are not able to send a compatible video, so those clients will not appear in the archive.

I want to be able to close tabs on my mobile Firefox, while using Desktop version of Firefox. I thought Tab-sync would make it work, but it doesn't. So now I'm on the quest to fix it with an extension.
I have thought about using sync area of storage (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/sync) but it's not supported on Android.
Do I have to build some external service to send command from Desktop version to that service and then use Mobile Firefox extension to do the polling or there is a better way to utilize fact that I'm logged on both of these devices.
Any ideas please?
So in our application, a video preview is displayed after it is uploaded. On my computer, however I'm getting a thumbnail that says 'plugin missing' and upon further inspection it says to install the quicktime plugin.
However, the link provided by Chrome to install the plugin leads to a page on apple's website which says 'quicktime plugins don't need to be installed anymore.'
Some details:
Video Extension: .mov
Codec: H.264, AAC (which may be what is in question here)
Chrome Version: Version 39.0.2171.71 (64-bit)
OSX Mavericks
How do I go about making videos play on my machine, as well as making sure that they show up in the production environment?
Google Chrome has removed support for plugins like Quicktime. Most likely you are also using Chrome 64bit. The Quicktime Plugin was only for 32bit.
HTML5 supports videos out of the box so the browser developers of IE, Firefox and Chrome do not see any more use for such plugins.
What technologies would I need to know to write an app like the now defunct Microsoft SharedView or something like TeamViewer? Any way to do it with a browser and not need a client app?
I'm a .NET developer, but figure I'd need to know C++ or driver stuff?
How would you stream the users desktop to another user? How do you even capture it in realtime?
I can imagine how you could take screenshots of the desktop and transfer them, but how do you capture live video of the screen of application and stream it to another user.
There are many apps that do this: Skype, GotoMeeting, TeamViewer, SharedView, Citrix, logmein, etc. but I'd like to write my own.
How would I get this to work on Windows, tablets, droids, etc...?
The browser seems to be a good platform for this, but there are some limitations
1 - flash doesn't work at all on IOS, and is not widely available on android.
2- Webrtc works with chrome, firefox and opera on mac/pc/linux, and with firefox/chrome on android. There's librairies to use webrtc from an IOS native app(in objective C). Screen Sharing on the other hand only works with chrome (pc/mac/linux). There's a work in progress in firefox.
3- Installation of browser plugins will be hard if not impossible on various platforms, but it can open some possibility : on chrome and firefox you can make them with javascript. For example a javascript extention can share a tab in chrome.
Using javascript you can stream from a desktop to any other desktop / android.
I need some help streaming audio inside the browser, on a Nokia Lumia 800, running Windows Mobile 7.5.
I currently am using JW Player (flash version) on the desktop browser, to stream an rtmp:// audio provided to me, and that works great. I also have an mms:// version of the same audio stream provided, but I cannot get it to play in the browser on the phone. I have tried setting the mode for JW Player to html5, but it doesn't work.
All the documentation on streaming audio on the windows phone seems to deal with native app development, but that's not an option for this at the moment.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Sorry, but neither the RTMP or MMS protocols are supported in HTML5 or Windows Phone (all versions), either natively or in the browser. You won't find support for either of these protocols even with a native app in WP7.x. WP8 opens up the possibilty of this functionality in 3rd party apps.
Does anyone know of a grid/resource on the latest device support for HTML5 Application Manifest on mobile phones?
Have a look at:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=offline-apps
It's got a wealth of information on it, and is frequently updated.
Seems to be avaliable on all decent phones – it's on iOS, Android and Opera Mobile, but not Opera Mini (unsurprisingly).
