Does RE Mobile CSDK support H.264 in any browser?

[yfedotov]

Chrome does not support H.264 yet. RE Mobile documentation says browser plugins support only VP8. What about other browsers? Firefox, Opera, Are there any browsers that do not require transcoding to H.264?

These browsers do not require a plug in...

• Google Chrome v28+,
• Mozilla Firefox v26+
• Opera v18+
• Chrome v28 for Android,
• Firefox v26 for Android and
• Opera v20+ for Android.

These do require a pug in...

• Microsoft Internet Explorer v8+ (Windows)
• Apple Safari Browser v8 (OSX

Thank you Edwin,  I see that in the docs. Was asking more about H.264 support that is not that clear in the docs.  That is if doing web-based app (not mobile) talking to Cisco UC (IP Phone) what % of sessions need to be transcoded.  Is it 100% or RE Mobile CSDK can do H.264 with at least some browsers like FireFox and Opera that do  support H.264 for WebRTC.

Browsers that support H.264 with WebRTC (e.g. Firefox) would not need transcoding.  H.264 is the preferred codec, falling back to VP8 (and requiring transcoding on the backend) as needed.

Thank you David, would be great to make it clear in the documentation.
