it just doesn’t work in every environment. every browser version has it’s own issues and edge cases. If you need stable video player or want streaming features you should use it.
P.S i built movie streaming and tv broadcasting player for country of Georgia and supported environments from 2009 LG Smart TVs to modern browsers.
Okay, what about non-streaming vid? I think the vanilla html5 <video> tag is solid, correct?
you think it’s solid until you want customization and old browser support. it should work fine if you just want to autoplay a small size mp4 file on mute
If all you want is a fix non-streaming, video, yes. Video tag just work. Video.js is catered for those required streaming.
