Embed live stream in my site

I am trying to embed a live stream in my site but I just can’t get it to work. I am google searching for the past 48 hours now and I cannot seem to find something which would work on both macs and pcs, as well as on mobile devices.

I was given 3 urls for the live stream

  • rtsp://server/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p
  • rtmp://server/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p
  • http://server:port/live/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p/playlist.m3u8

The closest I got to get it working is by using:

<OBJECT classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="320" height="240" codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>
        <param name='src' value="rtsp://server/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p">
        <param name='autoplay' value="true">
        <param name='controller' value="false">
        <param name='loop' value="false">
        <EMBED src="rtsp://server/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p" width="320" height="240" autoplay="true"
        controller="true" loop="false" bgcolor="#000000" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
        </EMBED>
</OBJECT> 

but it only works in Safari and Chrome by launching the quicktime app. Ideally I would have liked it to have it viewed on site. Also, Opera and FF do not show anything.

Re: Embed live stream in my site

I have managed to embed one of the streams with the code below but it only works on macs because of the quicktime issue. I could ask people to download and install it, but my experience most people will not. Does anyone have any ideas they can share?

<OBJECT classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="480"
height="285" codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>
<param name='src' value="http://downloads.netro.ca/qtlogo.mov">
<param name='qtsrc' value="rtsp://server/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p">
<param name='autoplay' value="true">
<param name='controller' value="true">
<param name='loop' value="false">
<EMBED src="http://downloads.netro.ca/qtlogo.mov" qtsrc="rtsp://server/mp4:mpegts.stream_360p" width="480" height="285" autoplay="true"
controller="true" loop="false" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
</EMBED></OBJECT>

Hi Yiannis, did you have a look at JW Player?

Re: Embed live stream in my site

Hi Els,

Yes i did. I also looked at flowplayer and projekktor… I think that there is something wrong with the stream the university is serving.

Re: Embed live stream in my site

Hi Pete, In the end we opted to just have it in the university live streaming site and we will be uploading the conference on vimeo in the near future
