flv.js is a JavaScript library designed for parsing and playing FLV (Flash Video) files in modern browsers without the need for Flash Player. It enables developers to stream and play FLV videos directly in the browser using HTML5 video elements. flv.js supports features like seeking, buffering, and playback control for FLV content, making it a valuable tool for handling FLV video playback on the web.
Compared to alternative solutions like video.js or hls.js, flv.js specifically focuses on FLV file format support, providing a lightweight and efficient solution for playing FLV videos. It is actively maintained and regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest browser technologies.
