What's this? ------------ This is Apple HTTP Live Streaming JavaScript player created by performing realtime conversion of MPEG-TS video chunks to MPEG-4 in parallel thread using Web Worker and playing them one by one in main thread.

How does it work? ----------------- Conversion is done using jBinary library (high-level I/O for binary data in JS - http://github.com/jDataView/jBinary) with programmatically described data structures according to ISO 13818-1, ISO-14496-2, ISO-14496-12 and ITU-T H.222.0 specifications.

Where does it work? ------------------- Works best in Chrome (stable branch), having more noticable lags when switching videos but still working in latest Firefox versions and IE10+.

Disclaimer ---------- Please note that demo uses 3rd-party HLS demo source and service http://www.corsproxy.com/ for proxying it with needed Cross-Origin-Request headers for browsers to allow chunk downloading, so it may be unstable.

Where I can see that? --------------------- Check out http://rreverser.github.io/mpegts/ for live demo.
