#26Sorry if this is always brought up (i haven't seen an Apple stream since the iPhone 4 event), but we /still/ need Quicktime to stream this? What the hell?

That's live coverage, not the event itself. Last time I saw one of these they were shambling trying to get video from people's iphones inside the hall and a couple of their guys got caught and were asked to leave.

#27That's why Apple is succeeding. People are moaning about how they cannot view the live stream of an Apple event on their Windows/Linux platform, like we're landing on the moon or something. Amazing.

#28Ok so it's that time of the year again. I am on windows and have chrome, firefox, ie 11, VLC, flash. Is there any way for me to watch this stream? Heck will this work even if I get quicktime? Edit: * So they updated the page to say it will work for quicktime if you are on windows. * But I am on win 8 and they use js to hide that part. So for now I am assuming it's because quicktime on it's download page only says it…
Apple uses HTTP Live Streaming protocol. VLC should be able to play it just fine. You will probably need a custom URL to feed VLC though. I'll paste the URL here once it's available.
EDIT: Quick bash script for extracting VLC-playable URLs (when they're available):
curl `curl http://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2013/ | grep "p.events-delivery.apple.com" | sed 's/\/snowLeopardurl/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv...
/non-snowLeopard url/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv...
/Windowsurl/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv...
/iphoneurl / = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv...
/ipadurl/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv...

Google wants their own protocol to succeed, Mozilla wants a different video codec to succeed[1], Microsoft probably wants to own both. It's very easy to cache HLS, which makes distributing high definition to a large number of people much cheaper. Is Apple supposed to spend more money on lower quality steaming just because their competitors don't want to play nicely? VLC is capable of playing HLS if you can get it the…
I don’t think this is about wanting protocols to succeed, or at least not primarily. Every iOS or OS X device Apple sells (so pretty much any of their products) can play this. No need to install anything. Why should Apple do any special extra work to make it work elsewhere without a bit of hassle?
Also, it’s just a fucking PR event. Why do people want to watch it? That’s just weird.

From the page:
> Live Streaming video requires Safari 4 or later on OS X v10.6 or later; Safari on iOS 4.2 or later. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.
So, no, unless someone posts a link to a live stream you can watch with VLC, this won't work on any non-Apple device (even with QuickTime).
