Good open source video player?
Hey guys.
I've been toying with the idea of starting a small streaming website.
I've seen that some member here seem to run that kind of service, so they'll probably be able to answer me:
Is there any good open source player you'd recommend? Is there something that's recognized as the "best one"? Anything better than video.js?
(Looking for html5, not flash crap)
Thanks!

Html 5 video element?
Not bad and easy to implement, but as I understand it, there is no way to stream different qualities and let either the user choose which stream he prefers, or redirect to the right stream depending on the user's bandwidth capacity out of the box.. Extra controls on top of html 5 video elements in js would probably be what I'm looking for.
videojs given the good modules around it (thinking about https://github.com/videojs/videojs-contrib-hls for mid segment quality switching for example) could probably do the trick quite well; but there might be better alternatives (or not?).
videojs is pretty good.
You can find a few skins for it on themeforest for $10, or you can make your own if you want it a bit more custom.

I really like Plyr (https://plyr.io) and it looks nice too
Homemade nasal sex vids?
Happy to contribute if so.
Contribute on the video or the code?
Anything to help spread the word (and as a result, notrils) of this excellent and sexy pastime.
} See something that looks good.
} It's all javascript and json.
} Docs are written in Markdown.
} Put on backburner.
How did you know?!
Yeah it's pretty nice, and will probably be even nicer in a close future:
Clappr is small, fast and did HLS out of the box last time I played with it.
Afterglow is another cool one. Think it was built on VideoJS. No support for Live/HLS but is still a great and beautiful option.
Definitely videojs. It's hands down one of the better of the players and has a ton of customization, including hls shims. It is an active project (that the company I work for manages along with the community) so I can attest to the quality and how much it is used.
I think its time to make your own.
This one seems really nice, thanks!
Would be interesting for sure but 1/ I'm lazy 2/ I'm too busy right now.
If @Nekki does one I'd happily use it as I'm sure it would be well tailored for the project.
