I'm looking for a simple solution to streaming user generated videos to a wide variety of devices.
It seems video standards are still fragmented, so there is no single simple solution. HLS is promising, but Android support is weak. AWS video transcoder as a service would help in building a solution, but still requires lots of infrastructure and moving parts. Wowza is promising, but I'm not sure it provides what I'm looking for.
This seems like a pretty simple task for which there would be an established SaaS vendor, yet I can't find one, nor have I found a thorough description about how to do this yourself.

I would go for MPEG-DASH, which supports a wide range of devices as listed here and make use of HLS as backup solution. Maybe bitcodin is the SaaS vendor you are searching for - they provide a solution from transcoding to playout.
