Hi guys,

I am looking for a way to deliver HTML5 video streaming (video on demand).

Which native video streaming protocol is reliably supported in the recent FF versions on Win/Mac?

We use JWplayer and it reports that HLS cannot be played. Is DASH supported?

Is there special type that we need to set so that the browser answers positively on video.canPlayType() and plays?

Best regards, Svetoslav
