flv.js
A pure JavaScript HTML5 FLV player that enables FLV video playback without Flash using Media Source Extensions.
What is flv.js?
flv.js is a JavaScript library that enables HTML5 browsers to play Flash Video (FLV) files without requiring Adobe Flash. It works by transmuxing FLV streams into MP4 segments and feeding them to the browser's native video element through the Media Source Extensions API. This allows developers to continue using FLV content in modern web applications where Flash is no longer supported.
Web developers and video platform engineers who need to maintain FLV video playback in HTML5 environments, particularly those migrating from Flash-based systems or building live streaming applications.
Developers choose flv.js because it provides a lightweight, pure JavaScript solution for FLV playback that works across all major browsers without Flash dependencies. Its low overhead and hardware acceleration make it performant for both on-demand and low-latency live streaming scenarios.
