Abstract
An apparatus and a method for transmitting media data through live streaming or recorded streaming are provided. Live streaming refers to a case where media being captured in real time by a media service apparatus is played in a user's web browser, and recorded streaming refers to a case where media pre-recorded and stored in a server is played in a user's web browser. In the case of live streaming, since real-time is an important factor, there is provided a media playing method with no initial delay by using a decoder written in a script that can be parsed by a web browser. In the case of recorded streaming, there is provided a media playing method capable of using a decoder embedded in a web browser with no compatibility issue related to a container even when the media service apparatus has no container creation functionality.
