Apptelic announces "No App Required" HLS Solution for Windows Phone and Windows 8

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 25, 2013 - Clients can already keep their existing HTTP Live Streaming server and CDN infrastructure, with no need to switch to Smooth Streaming, using Apptelic's market-leading HLS decoder for Microsoft platforms, but now customers can use their existing HTML5 web site too. Apptelic's Web Player component replaces the Flash player without using a plugin, so expensive app development is no longer required.

Apptelic develops HLS decoders and media apps for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and Xbox. Apptelic's customers include Microsoft, Warner Bros., Nokia, CBS and The NBA.. Apptelic was part of the award winning team to develop Hulu Plus.

Apptelic's HLS Web Player features include: full-screen playback, automatic selection between multiple bitrates based on network and playback performance, standard ‘transport controls’ (play, pause, stop), ‘scrub bar’ for seeking, fully translatable UI for language localisation, based on Microsoft Media Platform Player Framework, (MMPPF), plays live streams from the end of the buffer (ie. The “live” end) as the user would expect, and WebVTT and TTML captions supported with basic formatting.
