HTML5 SDK¶
Requirements¶
- MSE - Media Source Extensions: The host browser needs to support MSE, allowing video playback with the HTML5 video tag. See: W3C's Media Source Page
- WebRTC DataChannel: Our SDKs take advantage of this technology to build a custom transport layer. If the host browser does not support
WebRTC DataChannel, our SDK will fallback to retrieve content only from the CDN.
The following chart shows the support status of the System73 SDK transport layer with minimum versions for the most popular browser engines.
| Chrome 37+ | Firefox 28+ | Edge 79+ | Safari 11+ | Opera 30+ | Android 4.2+ | iOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| see note |
Note
iOS is supported on players that support MMS (Managed Media Source). iOS compatibility can also be achieved by integrating the iOS SDK in native apps
