Core Fuctionality

  • Play/Pause/Stop
  • Variable Volume/Mute
  • Seeking, visible time codes, total duration

  • 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
