Cross Platform Video Streaming?

We are working on a prototyp application using unity3d. Your goal is to create a fluid and fun to use cross platform app.

The problem we facing right now is streaming (h.264 - mp4) video content over the web. This will be a major feature of our app.

I have already tried MovieTextures and the www class but it seems the files must be in ogg format which we can not provide. On the other hand handheld.playfullscreenmovie seems to be an android and ios only feature which uses the build in video player. This would be great if it would be supported on other platforms (e.g. Win8-Phone) as well.

Is there another cross platform option to stream (h.264 - mp4) video content over the web and display in full screen or as gui object? Or are there any plans to support something like this in the near future? Or is there a stable plugin for such a task?

Thanks, Andi

I don't think that you be able to implement a single solution, but will need to go deep in each desired platform. Take a look in some already working tools, like kamcord.
