Problem Description / Use Case

A player that can be used in website.

Proposed Solution

If we download any anime via torrent and want to stream offline instead of MPV,VLC or some other player it would be better if we had a integrated player in website that tracks our progress.

Seanime supports media streaming / transcoding to the browser as of v1.5.0

Isn't it more complicated?? Instead of using a external player now we need to install 3-4 other applications so that we can stream in browser, It drains more battery out of laptop. What I am suggesting is an offline player which can play videos from the same device itself

[5rahim]

I don't understand why an offline player would be needed on the same device, why not just use MPV? Transcoding is made specifically for people who want to stream their files to other devices where those files aren't stored. It is needed if you want to stream files on the browser because not all devices support all codecs, that's the same thing Jellyfin and Plex do. Here's a more detailed explanation
