Jessibuca is an open-source pure HTML5 live-streaming video player built on MediaSource, WebCodecs, and WebAssembly, with WebGL rendering and WebAudio playback. It decodes H.264/H.265 with AAC/G711 audio in the browser without plugins, achieving sub-second latency across PC, Android, and iOS webviews.

Use cases

• play live video streams in the browser without plugins
• play http-flv or websocket-flv streams in H5 pages
• achieve sub-second low-latency live streaming in browsers
• play H.265 video in browsers that lack native HEVC support
• embed surveillance camera streams (GB28181) in a web page
• autoplay live video inside WeChat H5 webviews
• record live streams to MP4 or WebM in the browser
• render multiple live video tiles with multi-instance playback

When to choose

• you need plugin-free live streaming playback in mobile or desktop browsers
• you must play H.265/HEVC or G711 streams where native browser codecs fail
• you need very low latency (under 1 second) for live monitoring or surveillance
• you want wasm soft-decode fallback plus MediaSource/WebCodecs hard-decode acceleration
• you need many simultaneous player instances with worker-based decoding

When to avoid

• you only need VOD playback of standard MP4/HLS files, which native video elements handle
• you need a full streaming server rather than a client-side player
• your project cannot accept GPL-3.0 licensing terms
• you require guaranteed support for Pro features without a commercial license
• you target environments without WebAssembly or modern browser APIs
