play flv in html

Question

Can anyone give a concise instruction on how I can have a flv play from my html page please?

Answer 1

You can try https://github.com/Bilibili/flv.js

With flv.js, You'll get:

• Pure HTML5 + JavaScript Video Player for flv videos
• Pure HTML5 + JavaScript LiveStream Player for http-flv streams
• Flawless experience
• Smaller size than H.264 Videos

Flv.js utilizes MSE (Media Source Extensions) therefore it'll only be available on Chrome 43+, Firefox but not Apple / iOS Safari.

Flv.js instantaneously transmuxes flv streams to H.264 streams and then push the H.264 stream to Media Source Extensions. It'll display as a video tag in HTML Element with a blob URL.
