An HTML5 Flash Video (FLV) Player written in pure JavaScript without Flash. LONG LIVE FLV!
This project, inspired by hls.js, relies on Media Source Extensions to work.
flv.js works by transmuxing FLV file stream into ISO BMFF (Fragmented MP4) segments, followed by feeding mp4 segments into an HTML5 <video> element through Media Source Extensions API.
flv.js is written in ECMAScript 6, transpiled into ECMAScript 5 by Babel Compiler, and bundled with Browserify.
- FLV container with H.264 + AAC codec playback
- Multipart segmented video playback
- HTTP FLV low latency live stream playback
- FLV over WebSocket live stream playback
- Compatible with Chrome, FireFox, Safari 10, IE11 and Edge
- Extermely low overhead, and hardware accelerated by your browser!
