jepsefan 0 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Is there a way to implement H.265 playback in to the web browser, whitout it transcoding it to H.264? Found Open Source Software http://www.libde265.org/ is there a way to implement it, or is it far into the future Whit H.265?
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) The browser has to support it. As far as I am aware, not many do. Seems Google and YouTube are going with VP9. VP9 is also supported by some ARM processors as far as I am aware. VP9 also has an advantage in streaming capabilities. This means that even though H.265 gives a better image overall that VP9 might end up the supported standard in browsers. FFMPEG, which is used for video playback by the server, already supports H.265. Edited March 15, 2015 by Koleckai Silvestri
Luke 38864 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 yes, our api can output both h265 and vp9, but as stated above, it's the client devices that need to be updated to support them as well
SikSlayer 237 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Many ARM processors and GPUs support H.265/HEVC as well, but its up to the browsers as Koleckai Silvestri says. But with FFMPEG adding support, that might happen sooner than later.
tomimc 13 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Hi, Chromium has hevc support -> https://github.com/henrypp/chromium/releases So can webplayer now make stream from video hevc sources? i just checked and it is transcoding to x264
tomimc 13 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 That's not official Chromium. true, but works
Happy2Play 9153 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 When all of that makes it into a official builds then Luke will make the adjustment.
