## What it is
A WebAssembly-based video player library that plays H265/HEVC and other FFmpeg-supported codecs in the browser using FFmpeg for demuxing/decoding, WebGL for YUV rendering, and Web Audio for PCM playback. It supports MP4/FLV files and HTTP, WebSocket, and HTTP-FLV streams.

## Use cases
- play h265 video in the browser
- play http-flv live stream in web page
- decode video with ffmpeg in webassembly
- render yuv frames with webgl
- play mp4 file with wasm decoder
- stream video over websocket to browser
- web player for hevc surveillance camera streams

## When to choose
- you need to play H265/HEVC video in browsers that lack native support
- you need to play HTTP-FLV or WebSocket video streams in a web page
- you want a self-contained software-decoded player using FFmpeg codecs

## When to avoid
- you only need H264 playback, which native HTML5 video handles well
- you need seeking or advanced player features, which are not implemented
- you need an actively maintained project with recent releases
- licensing concerns around GPL-3.0 or H265 patents apply to your product

## Facets
- artifact type: library
