Streamio FFMPEG VS video.js

I found this https://github.com/streamio/streamio-ffmpeg but I don't know to integrate it into my rails app!

While we can work with FFmpeg directly, we’re going to use a gem to make our interaction with FFmpeg a little simpler: streamio-ffmpeg

For people who like to watch with subtitles, VLC currently doesn't support streaming to chromecast with SRT subtitles.. there are several issues for it and I believe support is slated for the next major version of Chromecast, but not sure when that will be.

The typical "workaround" is to reencode the video file to include the subtitles directly, but that sounded like too much work, so I hacked together a static page using https://videojs.com/ to embed a player and load the video and subtitles in a browser window.

Here it is in gist form if anyone has a similar issue: https://gist.github.com/HartS/9bb2721fa73b6798efcdbf5c463e87...

This was hacked together as quickly as possible for my own needs, so definitely not intended to be an example of clean code. You need to run the python server separately to serve the SRT because video-js can't load it from a file URL IIRC

Thank you! This is the kind of creative solution I was looking for. Your comment helped me find video.js which has first-party support for opening M3U8 streams.

videojs is superior to basically everything. It's also open source...

Another option is looking at https://videojs.com/ with the Vimeo video file links.

I am woring with HTML - I managed to download a (m3u8) video. by inspecting the webpage (videojs.com).

Now, to display the HLS stream to viewers, we’ll use HLS.js, which we installed earlier. For more UI customizations, you can check out Video.js, which uses HLS.js internally.

Maybe videojs?

You can find real-life examples of customized HTML5 video players on YouTube, the Cloudinary Video Player, JWPlayer, and Video JS. Each of these websites or frameworks utilizes the power of CSS to customize their videos or allow their users to do the same.

It looks like the IJF has switched to using the Video.js player on their portal. I'm not sure what to think of that. This could be the IJF taking more control over their IP which is ultimately a good thing. If you want to watch specific matches and see when certain actions happen then you must use their portal.
