video.js VS Leaflet

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.

9. Leaflet

Leaflet is the most famous open-source map library, with lots of plugins. 2 of them are used to animate a marker on the map:

Leaflet stands out as one of the top open source JavaScript libraries for crafting interactive maps. Optimized for both mobile and web devices, it is relatively small (around 42KB) and offers a ton of features, plugins, and a straightforward API. It works across all browsers and platforms.

Finding maplibre 'better' was more valid at the time than today, and is also subjective. The creators and maintainers of both libraries have done some great work (and are still doing so).

Back in January 2022, the stable version of leaflet, v1.7.1, was from September 2020, and was affected by some small bugs degrading the user experience. Although the release of following version seemed close, there was no clear schedule for it, and I had concerns about how maintained the library would remain.

As of today, the bug from 2015 where there is some white space between map tiles on fractional zoom levels [0] is still open.

Also, leaflet was a pain to integrate in Svelte Kit framework, because it depended on `window` and-or `document`, not available at server side.

Maplibre, on the other hands, with a feature set roughly equivalent to Leaflet, benefited from much more frequent releases, and seemed more stable across browsers and devices. It was also easier to make it work in Svelte kit.

For a personal project, I had to use Leaflet with Svelte, and I faced some problems during development.

Do anyone have any workaround on how to get leaflet js to work inside notion, either as an embed or as code, or widget? https://leafletjs.com/

None of those things are what most in the GIS space would consider "complex", so you could go with any of the options you selected. For lightweight maps, I like Leaflet

https://leafletjs.com

I have a special place in my heart for Leaflet and it’s documentation: https://leafletjs.com

Its suppose to be free: like with map data providers there's Leaflet, OpenStreet Maps and many more which are all for free.
