## What it is
Moovie.js is a movie-focused HTML5 video player library built with vanilla JavaScript and no dependencies. It provides customizable controls, caption support (.vtt/.srt) with on-the-fly offset adjustment, plugins, custom events, i18n, and integrations with webtorrent.js, dash.js, Shaka Player, and hls.js.

## Use cases
- embed a customizable html5 video player on my site
- play videos with srt and vtt subtitles
- adjust subtitle timing offset while watching
- add caption tracks locally without a server
- stream torrents or hls/dash video in the browser
- internationalize video player controls
- trigger custom actions at specific video timestamps

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free vanilla JS video player with strong caption support
- you want built-in subtitle offset adjustment and local caption loading
- you need streaming integrations like HLS, DASH, or WebTorrent in one player
- you want a lightweight, customizable player with plugins and i18n

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured commercial-grade player with DRM and analytics out of the box
- you require a React/Vue component wrapper rather than a vanilla JS library
- you need audio-only or playlist-focused playback rather than movie/video playback
