Introducing the new VideoStack
A need recently arose to create an extremely simple, HTML5 video player, to support self-hosted MP4 video files. This new stack encompasses all the normal HTML5 video tag attributes. Plus it includes a couple of more specialist features like chapter, subtitle and ExtraContent support.
VideoStack uses the standard web browser media controls. What's nice about these standard video player controls are that they work straight "out of the box" and support all the basic functions you could want; like play, pause, skip, volume, mute, fullscreen, download, picture-in-picture, Chromecast, captions and subtitles. VideoStack is lightweight, flexible and works practically anywhere.
This could be a good stack for a novice RapidWeaver user to settle into using, as a precursor towards some of the more sophisticated video stacks I sell. But if you do prefer to stick with using VideoStack in your websites, please make a donation to help compensate my time and ensure the stack can be kept available for the long term.
With the Covid-19 crisis deepening in many parts of the world, more and more companies and organisations are needing to permanently shift towards an online presence. Video is becoming an indispensable part of many websites. My hope is that the VideoStack becomes another useful tool in the overall "RapidWeaver toolbox"; towards helping people make this important transition.
