Why teams pick it

Feature depth that makes the page worth landing on.

These are the parts that differentiate the package from a basic media wrapper: real playlist handling, preview support, waveform audio, lazy loading, and controls you can actually tune.

Playlist-aware playback

Chain multiple clips into one timeline with aggregated duration, seek mapping, and seamless auto-advance.

Preview clips

Show clip-only or random previews with loop support for samples, teasers, and gated playback.

Subtitle and track support

Load subtitles or captions, switch tracks, and keep text tracks in sync with the active media.

Poster generation

Generate a poster frame from any point in the video to make embeds and demos feel polished.

Waveform audio with fallback

Use WaveSurfer.js for a rich waveform, with peak loading and a plain audio fallback for reliability.

Safer autoplay and lazy loading

Delay loading until visible and block oversized autoplay so media stays predictable in production.

Video player built for real apps

Multiple sources, playback rate, fullscreen, picture-in-picture, download hooks, keyboard shortcuts, and custom control exclusions.

Audio player with waveform polish

Volume, mute, speed, seek, downloads, progress callbacks, and a graceful fallback when waveform rendering is unavailable.

Highly configurable controls

Hide or keep only the controls you want, then tune accent color, sizing, poster timing, and preview behavior.

Lazy loading that feels instant

Media loads when the player enters view, keeping landing pages fast without sacrificing an interactive demo.

Live demo

The product sells itself once the controls are visible.

The interactive players below show the package in action with the same polish your users would see in a real app.

Video Player

Playlist timelines, subtitles, poster generation, and control customization in one component.

Audio Player

A richer audio experience with waveform visualization, peaks, fallback playback, download support, and keyboard shortcuts.
