Definitely worth considering if you got cash.įlow Player - The new kid on the block. Have not tried their JavaScript player (which requires an Enterprise account). Using their embedded player, their current time updates are slower than native. Docs are sometimes hard to work with due to the sheer volume. Current time updates are better than native but not as fast as Video.js You can use this in conjunction with the native player. Hls.js - A lot of big name video players use this (or used to use it) under the hood. For HLS, you need to use this in conjunction with hls.js. However, if you need Vimeo and YouTube support you probably want this one. However, it did not perform as well as VideoJS therefore I stopped further integrations. Plyr - I reviewed this due to their awesome demo. Current time updates are fast (but not sure if they are accurate, since under the hood it relies on the slow time updates from the native player). VideoJS - One of the most performant standalone players. My advice, if you need performance, do not use until it supports HLS. Native HTML5 JavaScript player - Does not support HLS streaming (except in Safari) resulting in slow seek times.
FREE HLS PLAYER HTML5 FREE
Here's the outcome: FREE Standalone Players I spent one week reviewing these players and performance testing them. You will also need to host them somewhere. If you are using a standalone player and have no budget, you will need to HLS encode your videos yourself.
I have not bothered reviewing these because they use jQuery OR do not support HLS streaming OR are Drupal or WordPress only OR are not popular enough OR a combination of these. These include a player, encoding, hosting, a web UI based dashboard (for uploading, encoding, configuring, etc) and various APIs (to get a list of videos you have uploaded, to upload via code, etc) 2x hls.js (HLS support for native player, other players use it under the hood).5x Plyr (supports HLS in conjunction with hls.js).Note: 5x means the player appeared in 5 of the 6 lists. I've put them in 3 categories as follows: Here's the ones that appeared most frequently. In 2021 it's a difficult task picking one.
