HTML5 fallback when streaming from Wowza

I have attempted to make an mp4 file stream from wowza 3.5 and fall back to html5 on IOS6 devices.

dev3.dawgPoundUSA.com/60testhw.cfm

bc.. <script type="text/javascript" SRC="p6/jwplayer.js"></script>
<div id="preview"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("preview").setup({
file: "rtmp://wowza.pstarz.net/vod/mp4:D/sample.mp4",
image: "images/sample.jpg",
height: 362,
width: 500,
sharing: {
code: encodeURI("<iframe src='http://dawgPoundUSA.com/60Testh.cfm?ID=sample"),
link: ""
} });
</script>



works fine in MSIE and firefox. When I try to pull it up on an IPAD running IOS6.01 I get the error message:

Error Loading Player: No playable sources found.

Wowza has cupertino streaming enabled. Any idea about source of error?

You are only linking to one RTMP file here. You need to link to a 2nd file to use for the fallback, similar to this example – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29394/hls-with-mp4-fallback

The only difference here is that instead of using HLS > MP4 you would be using RTMP > MP4

How do I reference the file:

rtmp://wowza.pstarz.net/vod/mp4:D/sample.mp4

for playback during HTML5 fallback in ios6.01?

I changed to protocol on this file from rtmp to http and apparently that does not work.

What is the correct protocol and syntax to reference this file during fallback?

This is an RTMP file. You need to have a file on HTTP as well.

I've place this file in the Content folder of the wowza folder and enabled cupertino streaming.
bc.. sources: [{
file: "rtmp://wowza.pstarz.net/vod/mp4:D/sample.mp4"
},{
file: "http://wowza.pstarz.net/vod/mp4:D/sample.mp4"



Question is: what is proper syntax to connect to this file via html5 http.

Is it a different syntax Or a different physical location on wowza to access via http?

Ethan

On your last post you said 'this is an RTMP file.

by that do you mean

1)file format is rtmp
2)server location is rtmp
3)addressing syntax is rtmp

which needs to change to play this file on http?

@TonyC – You should ask Wowza where the file is located, I am not sure where it resides on your server, for http.

FYI:

Issue was that wowza streams hls through port 1935 and it must be excplicit in url:

bc.. sources: [{
file: "rtmp://wowza.pstarz.net/vod/mp4:D/sample.mp4"
},{
file: "http://wowza.pstarz.net:1935/vod/mp4:D/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8"
}]
