A JavaScript H.264 decoder.
THIS IS VERY EARLY PROTOTYPE WORK
The demo is Android's H.264 decoder compiled with Emscripten to JavaScript, then further optimized with Google's JavaScript closure compiler. No hardware acceleration whatsoever!
Running the demo:
Open Demo/broadway.html in Firefox Nightly (w/ Type Inference).
Building the demo:
Install SDL Install and configure Emscripten (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten) The code for the demo is in the Avc folder, to build it run the make.py python script.
We are also working on a JavaScript implementation of H.264 that does not use Emscripten.
Install SDL Install SCons Install and patch Spidermonkey with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691446 ./go.py build && ./go.py run
Avc - Sources for the Avc (H.264) decoder extracted from the libstagefright Android library, along with some wrapper code that makes it run. Emscripten compiles these sources to JavaScript.
Demo - Precompiled JavaScript demo, just open broadway.html in the Nightly build of Firefox. Any version works, but only the Nightly has type inference which really speeds it up.
Media - Various H.264 AnnexB formatted bit streams.
Play - Begginings of a H.264 JavaScript implementation from scratch.
Show - A host environment that embeds SpiderMonkey and executes the scripts in the Play folder to make development easiler. It also exposes some JavaScript bindings to the SDL graphics library.
