In partnership with the EBU, Cisco and OpenHeadend, the Upipe team has created a web browser plug-in allowing to receive multicast streams in a unicast-only network, using Automatic Multicast Tunneling. The plug-in is now available online, and by default connects to a Cisco router hosted at the EBU, with a number of multicast streams provided by OpenHeadend playout.

Note that the plug-in only works on Native Client-enabled browsers (eg. Google Chrome).

We plan to apply to GSOC ’14. Please check our list of ideas.

We intend to use this blog to provide information about new code releases, and also implementation details of some innovative features.

The code source for Upipe’s core and main modules was first released through GitHub.
