## What it is
indigo-player is a highly extensible, modern JavaScript video player library built on top of the HTML5 video element. It supports MPEG-DASH, HLS, and MPEG-4 playback with a modular plugin system and a React-based UI.

## Use cases
- play hls streams in the browser
- play mpeg-dash videos on a website
- embed an mp4 video player with custom ui
- build a video player with analytics plugins
- add subtitles and quality selection to html5 video
- play drm-protected video content in the browser

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, extensible html5 video player with dash/hls support
- you want a plugin architecture for analytics or custom player features
- you prefer a react-based player ui out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a player with active maintenance and timely issue resolution
- you need native mobile playback beyond the browser
- you require a full end-to-end video processing pipeline rather than playback

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: video-processing, ui-components, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, frontend, media
- platform: browser
- tags: video-player, html5-video, hls, mpeg-dash, drm, typescript, react-ui, nodejs
