ionic video player for .ism/manifest files


Require a video player that can play .ism/manifest files. Currently I'm using Azure Media Player.It works fine in browser but not in Mobile devices. Any other player which I can integrate with my Ionic app?


Solution

  • In order to prepare your video to android playback follow article http://mingfeiy.com/android-hls-playback-via-azure-media-services.

    You should be able to have links with following format (additional strings added after *.ism/):

    For HLS v4 http://htmlsamples.origin.mediaservices.windows.net/7bbf1b9d-83c0-4745-8e3d-169479671fd6/Tears.ism/Manifest(format=m3u8-aapl)

    For HLS v3: http://htmlsamples.origin.mediaservices.windows.net/7bbf1b9d-83c0-4745-8e3d-169479671fd6/Tears.ism/Manifest(format=m3u8-aapl-v3)

    Opening web browser from you app with these formatted links should trigger playback.
