I am working on a media based website. I am using JWPlayer for media playback, and using HTML5 mode with fallback to Flash. We are storing the media files on Windows Azure. I want to know - 1) "IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO HTTP PSEUDO STREAMING FROM AZURE BLOB ??" So far, i am able to stream media from Azure, but I am not sure whether it is HTTP Pseudo-streaming or Progressive Download. 2) Is there a way I can check what media streaming protocol a web page is using while playing a video using some tool or browser plugin?
I think you will find this post helpful Serving Video Content from Azure Blob Storage
It solved my the problem, which i was searching for it from about a year, This will solve the "Seeking" behavior for videos, which works fine with most of players (especially HTML5 video players), but the problem still exists on JWplayer with flash mode, which doesn't support this functionality (ex: Accept-Range: bytes, or Range bytes: 200, 2000).
JWPlayer supports only some kind of pseudo-steraming : Pseudo-streaming on JWPlayer flash mode, I am still trying to solve this issue !!
