VLC online player

[cinephile]

Hey folks. Long time user of VLC media player here. I actually initially started using it back when it was FFMPEG. Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. Then VLC came out, and I liked it much better. I believe that it is considered a fork of ffmpeg if I'm not mistaken?

Anyway, I was wondering if videolan would ever consider making an online version. vlc is currently my favorite video player, and I strongly despise using any other one, since none of them compare to vlc's performance. I currently have a youtube player on my site, but I'm forced to lazy load it, which causes terrible user-experience on mobile devices, like the iphone. Users are forced to essentially do a double tap in order to play the video.

I know that since videolan makes such a great software, it would prevent this egregious issue. This would especially make sense, as nodejs is starting to revolutionize how people are making applications. For instance, Github recently made something called Electron, which allows you to code using web languages, but make a desktop application. This is why I firmly believe that videolan should at least consider my suggestion. Cheers.

VLC embarks some FFMpeg code.

You cannot do an online player, because, you cannot do plugins in webbrowser anymore.
