Video JS
Video.js is an open-source, web-based HTML5 video player that delivers a consistent, customizable video playback experience across browsers and devices.
How Video JS + Enveu works
Enveu uses Video.js as the web playback layer, while Enveu manages everything around content, experience, and business logic.
Flow (simple & business-friendly):
- Content & Metadata Management : Content owners manage videos, metadata, access rules, ads, and subscriptions in Enveu CMS.
- Playback Configuration : Enveu configures Video.js with the required settings such as streaming URLs (HLS/DASH), DRM, captions, ads, and analytics hooks.
- Web App Playback : When a user plays a video on the web app, Video.js loads the stream provided by Enveu and handles smooth playback across browsers.
- Access & Monetization Control : Enveu enforces entitlements (free, subscription, PPV), geo-rules, and user authentication before Video.js starts playback.
- Ads, Analytics & Monitoring : Video.js integrates with ad servers and analytics tools, while Enveu orchestrates tracking, reporting, and user engagement data.
