Introducing the Mediafly HTML5 Player

By Jason Shah | November 30, 2011

We are proud to announce the availability of the Mediafly HTML5 Player. After months of development, we have opened the Mediafly HTML5 Player as a “beta” application for users of our OnAir podcast aggregation platform.

HTML5 is an important technology. It has the potential to dramatically simplify video playback, improve web application user interfaces, and increase online/offline synchronization for apps. We are not only seeing an increasing number of websites support HTML5 extensions, but also seeing embedded HTML5 applications running as native applications in mobile and connected TV devices.

However, video over HTML5 remains complicated. Codecs, browser support, device support, bitrate switching, security, Flash fallback, navigation+playback, and many other decisions fall in the way of a smooth, seamless experience.

Mediafly’s HTML5 Player streamlines all of these decisions and makes the implementation as simple as embedding a few lines of code and checking a few boxes. The HTML5 Player includes numerous features found on other Mediafly apps:

Try the Mediafly HTML5 Player out today with ACME Anvil, our demonstration company, or with Mediafly OnAir, our podcast aggregation service.
