  • DVR capabilities allowing viewers to replay or skip ahead in a live broadcast
  • Support for audio-only streams for podcasters and Internet radio
  • Simple-to-use JavaScript API, including ID3 metadata for ease of deployment
Wowza Player is now available and can be added to streaming workflows directly from the Wowza Streaming Engine™ Manager or the Wowza Streaming Cloud™ service.
