This week our peer-assisted delivery solution Viblast PDN got nominated for Streaming Media’s 2015 European Readers Choice Awards. It appears in four categories: Best Streaming Innovation, Cloud Video Service, Delivery Network and Multiscreen Solution.

We are excited to announce that Viblast is now part of the Wowza Media Systems’ Technology Alliance partner program. Wowza is the leader and an innovator in video and audio streaming technology, and we are honored to be joining their partnership network.

Our team is proud to present Viblast Player, the Flash-less, plugin-free solution that enables playback of adaptive HLS and DASH playlists in HTML5 browsers. 

Viblast Player is one of the few solutions able to play adaptive-bitrate (ABR) streams without Flash or any other plugin in HTML5. Besides ABR playback, it handles encrypted HLS and DRM-protected DASH playlists. Viblast Player works with both live and on-demand video in modern browsers as well as Android and iOS mobile apps.

Today we are proud to present the first collaborative project developed with our partner Axinom: support for P2P delivery of streams protected by a digital rights management solution (DRM) or multi-DRM. The DRM providers currently supported are Microsoft PlayReady and Google’s Widevine, or a multi-DRM solution combining the two

The Viblast team is happy to announce our partnership with InPlayer, an ecosystem of monetization products for video and digital content owners.

"Viblast has an interesting WebRTC-based peer-to-peer content delivery network."

Merely a week after Akamaí’s acquisition of Octoshape, they are already demonstrating the new capabilities this deal unlocked for them at one of the biggest industry events, the NAB show in Las Vegas. We got asked a number of times about our take on the news, given that one of these new capabilities includes client-assisted video delivery solutions.

This weekend (April 11-12), Viblast will participate in TADHack-mini London, a hackathon that will focus on WebRTC, our favorite enabler-technology.

We are now ready to take your MPEG DASH streams all the way to the last-mile. Viblast’s P2P-assisted delivery can now take static and dynamic DASH streams as input.

If you are using Wowza Streaming Engine, adding a P2P delivery layer to your setup has just become extremely easy.
