"All-open" mode uses only open formats, forces Safari on iPhone and older desktops to use ogv.js fallback:
|
||
|
|
* DASH manifest
|
||
|
|
* WebM VP9 video segments
|
||
|
|
* WebM Opus audio segments
|
||
|
|
* WebM Vorbis audio segments (for Safari)
|
||
|
|
* WebM VP8/Vorbis flat file fallback
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Open-forward" mode avoids ISO not-quite-open formats except in compatibility fallbacks. Multi-res capability for all modern desktops, but not iPhone or iPad which will load a single flat file natively.

|

|
* WebM VP8/Vorbis flat file fallback (old Firefox/Chrome or JS off)
|

* MP4 H.264/MP3 flat file fallback (for iOS and single-URL linking)

"HLS-forward" mode has full multi-res capability on newer iPhones and iPads, AND all modern desktops, but requires making multiple H.264 and MP3 files and using MP4 container.
|

|
|
|

|
|
* HLS manifest
|
||
|
|
* MP4 VP9 video segments
|

|
|
* MP4 H.264 video segments (for Safari)
|

|
|
* MP4 Opus audio segments
|
||
|
|
* MP4 MP3 audio segments (for Safari)
|
||
|
|
* WebM VP8/Vorbis flat file fallback
|
||
|
|
* MP4 H.264/MP3 flat file fallback (for single-URL linking)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Chrome/Firefox: use MSE to handle HLS
|
||
|
|
* Desktop Safari: use MSE to handle HLS
|
||
|
|
* iPhone/iPad: use native HLS
|
||
|
|
* old Firefox/Chrome: use WebM VP8 fallback
|
||
|
|
* old IE/Edge/Safari: use MP4 H.264 fallback

"Split-ticket" mode works fully on VP9-supporting iPhones, iPads, and Macs but falls back to ogv.js for older ones, while modern desktops all get the multi-res magic. Requires using MP4 container and MP3 audio, which are not patented but the standards docs are paywalled. Note that desktop Safari with JS off won't see working video.
