Built-in Media player #19

Adding a Built-in media player would better than using external media player imo you can check this media players for reference: vime-js videstack ArtPlayer.js

5rahim commented 7 months ago

I checked out the media players and it looks like some of them kinda support libass but not entirely. I still haven't figured out an appropriate setup for streaming files, and having to mess with libraries to make the entire thing work consistently isn't a priority right now since I don't see the utility. I'll keep this in mind however.

thank you for your response and for considering this feature however I'm sorry but since i saw that your willing to add manga support i would like to request adding another feature wich is support for ebook/epub file for reading novels and Light novesl or any book with .epub format you can check a library for this called epub.js

5rahim commented 7 months ago

Manga support isn't coming anytime soon but depending on how easy it is to implement I'll consider light novels as well.

userx-54 commented 7 months ago

ok thank you for considering it and good luck for your next plans and keep going with this project is really good

here's my grain of wisdom on implementing mpv-like playback functionality in browsers:

DONT.

it's hell, pain, suffering and everything else you could imagine

it's not that it's impossible, its simply really really hard

you'll need your own in-browser http proxy for extracting subtitle metadata
you'll need to force enable experimental flags to support multi video and audio tracks
you'll need to compile a custom version of chromium to support more codecs [not legal!... kinda]

and then bundle all of that into a single package, IT. IS. HELL.

@ThaUnknown You're completely correct, the only viable solution -- for this project specifically -- would be on-demand transcoding but it might just be as painful to implement correctly. I did manage to make a demo work (somehow) but it's just too inconsistent. Like your work btw.
