title: Smooth Streaming .ism to an HTML5 video tag
body: <p>I understand that the best bet when streaming a video as a source in an HTML5  tag would be .mp4. But let's say that I have a source that only outputs fragmented to an ism/manifest.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way at all, whether through other libraries or messy hacks, that I can bring this video into something rendered as a  tag onscreen? The closest I have found is <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj573656%28v=vs.90%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">Walkthrough: Building Your First HTML5 Smooth Streaming Player</a> because it allows this to be done - but I neither have Windows 8, or want to have this running a server capable of .NET. I was hoping there was something, messy or not, that I could achieve this with entirely within javascript and executable locally without a deploy.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
