Change from jwplayer to using video.js, projeckktor or mediaelementjs

[mithro]

While jwplayer is technically "open source" its CC-BY-NC which is not free. Video.js and preojekktor look like decent really open source replacements.

Hi @mithro, can you please be more explicit in your criteria for a replacement - what problems are we trying to solve of moving to a FOSS replacement? (I'm referring to other similar tickets here, too, as you've also requested an upgrade of jwplayer)

Need to support a wide variety of devices include;

• Desktop Browsers
• Firefox
  • Chrome
  • IE
  • Safari
  • Opera maybe?
• Mobile Browsers
  • iPhone Safari
  • Android browser

This means;

• Support for webm (firefox/chrome)
• Support for h264 (safari + flash fallback)
• Support for flash fallback
• Support for HLS streaming (iPhone / Android devices)
• Support for DASH (maybe?)
• Support for rtmp?
• Support for YouTube (maybe?)

Should also support the following features;

• Multiple stream quality selection (preferable automatically)
• "Live" support (IE not showing seek bar, etc)
