@papelonconl1mon @MuxHQ ¡for web video!

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@XP_Ehsaan @MuxHQ Yes it is!

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@petarsubotic @videojs Thank you! And lol, yes. Some 1st day of beta vibes still to work through.

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@xSNAGSx @MuxHQ @shadcn That is definitely on our minds, and looking forward to using the registry feature.

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@martinbean @MuxHQ Yes, it will, but not yet! Learn more on the post about Mux Player. https://t.co/frddc5GIsV

@videojs Long time no post 😅 I'm very excited to be back at it again with a really incredible team, and some claude.

[Video.js @videojs]

Reboot time, baby. After 16 years, we teamed up with Plyr, Vidstack and Media Chrome to make the open source player that the web deserves (again). Check out the v10 blog post, try it out, and give us feedback.

@NickMilo @neophyte2k Bunny is a great CDN that added video — cheap, fast, works. Mux is video-first — better player, better analytics, built by the team behind Video.js. If video is core to what you're doing, Mux. If you're optimizing for lowest cost, Bunny works. Both might just be free for you.

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@neophyte2k @NickMilo Blurgh, Mux founder here, feeling like somehow we're landing on both the too simple and too advanced sides of this conversation. What should we add so it's not pretty sparse?

[Rahim @mihar_22]

Vidstack, Media Chrome, Plyr. Now we're building one player together — Video.js v10, from the ground up.

Here's my part of the story.

Video.js is getting completely rebuilt.

Created by our co-founder @heff, we're stepping up as the new corporate steward, and are doing a complete rewrite: composable and framework-native.

Shoutout to the Video.js team: @gkatsev, Garrett Singer, @luwes, @mihar_22, @sam_potts, @cjpillsbury, @QualabsUy, and @CastLabs.

Kick the tires, and let us know what you think. This is just the beginning of what we can build together.

@21LUCKANCSA @rauchg @MuxHQ @vercel That's our free test mode, before adding a CC to your account. Clearly we need to communicate what's happening better, especially for next-video users. It's on our roadmap to improve our test mode and make it easier to get started on Mux overall.

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@yourcasualdev @rauchg @MuxHQ @vercel You can use mux-uploader-react to push videos to Mux. The next-video project specifically is only streaming right now but we have plans to extend it to uploading/recording as well.

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

Doing video on the web really, really well is hard. Just today a customer asked me for help on why their videos worked on Chrome but not Safari iOS 🥴

Excited to have @muxhq join the @vercel marketplace to make <video> a great DX and UX for all 🙌

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@MarkLyck @rauchg What should we add to hit 100%?

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@norbusonam @rauchg Thanks! Exactly why we built this. I've been sad by how few people actually style players to fit their site design.

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

@matt_mcclure @rauchg Matt's not wrong here...kudos to the YouTube dev that built the originals. Impressive craftsmanship. I had to stretch my SVG game to recreate them.

[Steve Heffernan @heff]

https://t.co/nQY8MFLKoP is live! Media player themes built with web components. Would love your feedback. There’s also a conversation happening on Hacker News.
