To make an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) online video player, you will need to follow these general steps:
- Encode your video content into multiple resolutions and bitrates using an HLS-compatible encoder such as Apple's mediafilesegmenter or ffmpeg.
- Create an HLS manifest file, which is an index file that contains a list of the video segments and their corresponding bitrates and resolutions.
- Choose an HLS-compatible video player, such as Video.js or JW Player, and customize the player's appearance, controls, and branding to match your website's design.
- Add the player code to your website's HTML file and include the HLS manifest file as the video source.
For example, the HTML code for embedding a Video.js player with an HLS video source would look like this:
