The [http://www.nfb.ca/ National Film Board of Canada] is an agency of the Ministry of Canadian Heritage, and has been using Flash web technology to provide free viewings of their films online since January 2009. Inspired by [[PopcornOpenVideoAPI|Popcorn.js]] they are looking to develop a video player using HTML5 and JavaScript. Extending on the basic video capabilities of play/pause/stop/volume, this player will be skinnable for consistent viewing across web browsers, and a large focus will be placed on accessibility in the form of subtitles and screen reader compatibility as well as social networking interaction. Complete information can be seen at the NFB's [http://developer.nfb.ca/trac/web/wiki/NFBHTML5videoplayer developer centre].

The BBB is seeking to create an online video player using HTML5 and JavaScript.

Project Description

Inspired by Popcorn.js the BBB is looking to develop a video player using HTML5 and JavaScript.

Project Details

Below is a listing of project details.

Core Fuctionality

  • Play/Pause/Stop
  • Variable Volume/Mute
  • Seeking, visible time codes, total duration
  • Flash fallback if HTML5 is not fully supported
  • Player resizing, ability for fullscreen
  • Multiple codec support (mp4/h264, vp6), browser dependant?
  • Completely customizable visuals through CSS
  • Accessibility (Keyboard-only, screen-reader support)
  • Internationalization (driven from config file)

Extensible Required Features

  • Ratings (mature content, violence, sexuality)
  • Support multiple streaming methods (rtmp, rtmpt, rtsp, http)
  • Support multiple streaming speeds (low, medium, high)
  • Subtitles support in TTXT
  • Audio description playback – detect the MP4 audio track specific to Audio description
  • Statistics : IP, onLoad, start, reached 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 100%, CC_ON, CC_OFF, AD_ON, AD_OFF (must be sent to NFB server)
  • JSON, AMF support to interact with the NFB video management environment.
  • Watermark overlay on the video.
  • Source hiding : Provide the user with an ObjectID in order to hide the real address of the film in order to prevent downloads.
  • Like feature. Within the player, users should have the ability to “like” a film. If the user is log in to the site, this features should populate his profile. If the user is not logged in, then it’s a simple add to build “most liked” film lists.

Optional Features

  • Message overlay on load, pause/stop, end
  • Message overlay at specific in and out point
  • Recommendation at 90% of the film: once the film reaches the 90% mark, related films should be suggested with thumbnails, titles and duration. This needs to appear as a layer over the video
  • Follow feature: The follow features means the user will be notified every time there is a comment on the film. This should be linked to the user profile, hence the user must be authenticated.
  • Google translation: Give users the ability to get the machine translation from Google based on the subtitles of the film.

  • Video chaptering
  • Video assembly from multiple chapters of multiple videos
