Access to A/V via Mobile (responsive), or embedded on a page.

Description

Access via Mobile (responsive), or embedded on a page. Fully featured vs slimline player. Note that Apple require HLS for video over 10 minutes in iOS apps. [Not universally enforced but it’s always a concern.]

Proposed Solutions

Yes :) Different viewing applications can be built.

Another thing to consider for iOS is that Safari & other web browsers have limited A/V playback support compared to desktop and Android:

• no direct access to MSE (gapless playback, combining separate audio and video tracks reliably requires this if not done through an HLS manifest)
• playback requires user gesture (partially lifted in iOS 10 when muted or without audio)
• MP4 only (no WebM option)

Apps can do the equivalent low-level media operations without restriction but this may complicate reuse versus using an HTML/JS-based framework in a web view.
