Flowplayer 7 is an open-source HTML5 video player for the web, built as a jQuery-based JavaScript library with customizable CSS skins and a JavaScript API for playback control. The repository is archived and maintained only for historical purposes, with newer commercial offerings available from the vendor.
Use cases
- embed a video player on a website
- play mp4 and webm videos in the browser
- customize video player skin and controls
- control video playback via a JavaScript API
- listen to video player events like load and pause
When to choose
- you need a lightweight jQuery-based HTML5 player for a legacy project
- you want a simple drop-in video player with CSS theming
- you are studying or maintaining an older codebase that already uses Flowplayer 7
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project and want actively maintained software
- you need modern features like DRM, adaptive streaming, or framework integrations
- you want a license other than GPLv3 with additional terms
- you need long-term support or security updates
