Role: Development (Flash)
Description: The open-source VideoJS project is one of the most popular JS/HTML5-driven video frameworks available today. Standards-based mechanisms are prioritized for asset playback, but due to the fragmentation of audio and video codec support across major browsers, a cross-browser compatible fallback is often-times required. Previous versions of VideoJS used the Flowplayer project as a fallback player, but it contains a lot of features and functionality that aren’t needed or used by VideoJS. Version 3 of VideoJS introduced a custom-written swf video player that was authored to parallel (as closely as possible) the HTMLMediaElement API that modern browsers employ. At 11KB compiled (vs 130KB for the previous player), it’s much quicker to load. I look forward to continued contribution to this project – there are some exciting features in its future.
