Future Media support

Hey,

I’ve started developing an app using Backendless for video streaming. Today my streams would no longer start, and I assumed I had reached the free tier limit for streams, however when I checked the marketplace the option to purchase more seems to no longer exist. I also notice that there is no tab for Media in version 4.

Is Media still being supported? Will it be removed soon?

If that’s the case, if anyone has suggestions for alternatives, that’d be a great help.

Thanks

Hi Alan,

Media service has been experimental for us. We decided not to continue with it in version 4 and will be removing altogether in version 3 as well.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks Mark,

Got it. Are there any existing libraries or proprietary code you all wrote (server or app-side) that you’d be willing to open source now that you’ll be ending it?

Hi Alan,

We used Wowza media server on the backend. On the client side, we used the Midnight Coders MediaLibrary (which is not open source). So there’s not that much that can be open sourced here.

Regards,
Mark
