Appendix A. HTML Media Frameworks and Tools

It’s actually quite a bit of fun coding a media controller. However, sometimes we don’t have the time or the inclination (or enough familiarity with JavaScript) to create our own media custom controls and other applications. That’s when we look to see what others have already created that we can use.

As new as HTML5 media elements are, there are already several different useful libraries, plug-ins, and applications for working with HTML5 media elements. This appendix briefly outlines some of the more interesting I’ve found.

Subtitle/Caption Rendering Library

The only library I tested that manages subtitles and captions and that isn’t also a video player is Captionator. I covered Captionator in Chapter , and you can download the code and find out more about the project at https://github.com/cgiffard/Captionator.
