SublimeVideo – HTML5 Video Player & Horizon Framework

Curated on by

SublimeVideo is the world’s first cloud-based HTML5 video player; a universal and pain-free solution that allows video to play flawlessly on any device or browser.

Origin and motivations for building the SublimeVideo Horizon FrameworkFirst goal already achieved: Reliable video play in any browser and deviceBefore Horizon, we offered only one player; The SublimeVideo HTML5 Video Player.
It was great because it was truly reliable. It is safe to say it was the most web-page friendly HTML5 video player out there, thanks to the countless hours we spent ensuring nothing would break when you used it on any of your pages. Not an easy task for an HTML5 Video player without iFrame.”

Curated on by

“For years, LongTail Video has offered its open source JW Player as a free alternative for businesses that don’t want to put their videos on YouTube or pay SaaS-based content management players like Brightcove or Ooyala. But it doesn’t have all the features and functionality they might like — for instance, built in support for Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) adaptive bit-rate protocol. The new version of the JW Player — JW6 — seeks to correct that, while also improving the UI and speeding up playback.”

HTML5 Video Player development tutorial, with subtitles and dynamic bitrate switching support – blog.denivip.ru

Curated on by

“Year by year, we become more involved with media technology than ever before. The World Wide Web is also sensitive to this trend as shown by immense success and popularity of online video services, such as YouTube. However, you cannot run such systems without the technology for video content playback at the end user level.

 

A classical approach is to build a video player with Flash. Probably you can hardly find a more popular Web browser plugin than Flash Player today. However, a weakness of this approach is the necessity to install the Flash plugin, missing from many devices by default. For example, whatsoever popular iPhone and iPad are, they cannot run Flash applications from within the browser. The way out of this situation is to use HTML5.

 

This modern version of HTML standard has introduced many innovations. But for us, the key feature is to play back videos from a standard Web browser. To do this, HTML5 specification has been enhanced by the <video> tag. It offers everything you need for easy video file playback.”
