How open source is disrupting video and making it friendlier for developersĪfter decades of proprietary stovepipes for media players and back-end video infrastructure, a new open source abstraction from Mux may liberate developers.How do I completely remove RealPlayer (RealTimes) from my PC, then reinstall it? When you consider how thoroughly open source has dominated everything from server-side infrastructure, to programming languages and frameworks, to just about every developer concern for the last 20 years - there are some domains you look at and are surprised to still see proprietary stacks and vendor lock-in like we’re stuck in the 90s. Those of us over 40 remember those heady early days of the commercial internet when it seemed like every browser had its own plugin. You had Windows Media Player plugins, you had RealPlayer plugins, you had Quicktime plugins and more. ![]() As a user you were constantly bombarded with messages that you needed to download the latest plugin version. Then with the introduction of Flash, we finally had a single, unifying plugin standard that would work across all browsers. All these years later, video is still a stovepiped domain for developersīehind every video stream on the Internet lurks a range of challenging technical problems.įlash was great for developers at that time because at least now there was a single plugin to write against.īut then HTML5 hit the scene, promising to bring video natively into browsers as a built-in functionality, and when Apple mandated HTML5 for iOS, that pretty much brought the whole industry over to HTML5 as the default media playback standard for the browser. The video back-end handles concerns like transcoding, tradeoffs between file size, compute when encoding and compression. Even the simple process of playing back video on devices turns out to be not so simple: Android, iOS and every web browser are quite different. SEE: Windows, Linux, and Mac commands everyone needs to know (free PDF) (TechRepublic) That’s why there are so many video infrastructure providers out there. There are also many video player providers out there. Some of the general open source players include Video.js, jPlayer, MediaElement.js, Plyr and Clappr. Some of the JS-specific players include ReactPlayer, Videogular, Vue-core-video-player and Stencil-video-player. And then there are the proprietary players like JWPlayer, Bitmovin, Theo, Nexplayer and castLabs. Each has their own specific benefits and their own specific baggage. Most challenging for developers: They are all closed ecosystems, meaning all these different player options are tightly coupled with specific playback infrastructure. In other words, you may start to customize on one, but you can’t easily translate that customization to another player. Media Chrome wants to set developers free It’s easy to get locked into a single video ecosystem, and that’s not the spirit of the open web. Mux is an interesting player in the video ecosystem. I covered earlier this summer when they unified all three major video formats (on-demand, real-time and live video) into a single API abstraction. Open-source repository SourceHut to remove all cryptocurrency-related projects Mux is to video what Twilio is to unified communications or what Stripe is to payments: Developer API-driven abstractions to domains that were once extremely burdensome to developers. ![]()
