Is it possible to use Broadway to enable autoplay on mobile? #65

Mobile browsers do not support the autoplay feature of HTML5 video.

<video src="myVideo.mp4" autoplay>

This will autoplay using non-mobile browsers but not on mobile browsers.

Is it possible to decode the MP4 and then autoplay it using Broadway?

you will have to program the auto play logic yourself broadway.js is only a decoder that gives you the video frame by frame

It is entirely possible, but in my initial tests it doesn't achieve the FPS necessary (on an iPod Touch) to play a video. You'd also need to handle audio separately.

@alastaircoote would you be willing to post any code you've tried in experimenting with this?

alastaircoote commented 9 years ago

@mcranston18 I'm afraid I haven't experimented much beyond using the demo page in this repo. I've played around a little more with JSMPEG - an MPEG1 decoder. File sizes are far larger, but it performs much better on mobile devices (presumably because the compression is less complex).

@alastaircoote thanks for the link! I appreciate the feedback.
