HLS.js

HLS.js is a JavaScript library that enables web browsers to play live or on-demand video streams encoded with the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol. It works by breaking down the video into small parts and delivering them over the internet, allowing smooth playback even with variable network conditions. HLS.js seamlessly integrates with web pages, providing features like adaptive streaming quality, error recovery, and customized controls. It’s widely used to ensure reliable, high-quality video experiences on websites, especially when native browser support for HLS is limited or unavailable.
