README
flv.js
An HTML5 Flash Video (FLV) Player written in pure JavaScript without Flash. LONG LIVE FLV!
This project relies on Media Source Extensions to work.
For FLV live stream playback, please consider mpegts.js which is under active development.
This project will become rarely maintained.
Overview
flv.js works by transmuxing FLV file stream into ISO BMFF (Fragmented MP4) segments, followed by feeding mp4 segments into an HTML5 <video>
element through Media Source Extensions API.
Demo
http://bilibili.github.io/flv.js/demo/
Features

- Multipart segmented video playback
- HTTP FLV low latency live stream playback
- FLV over WebSocket live stream playback
- Compatible with Chrome, FireFox, Safari 10, IE11 and Edge
- Extremely low overhead, and hardware accelerated by your browser!

CORS
If you use standalone video server for FLV stream, Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header must be configured correctly on video server for cross-origin resource fetching.
See [cors.md](docs/cors.md) for more details.
Getting Started
<script src="flv.min.js"></script>
<video id="videoElement"></video>
<script>
if (flvjs.isSupported()) {
var videoElement = document.getElementById('videoElement');
var flvPlayer = flvjs.createPlayer({
type: 'flv',
url: 'http://example.com/flv/video.flv'
});
flvPlayer.attachMediaElement(videoElement);
flvPlayer.load();
flvPlayer.play();
}
</script>
