Pushing an entire segment worth of FLV tags into the source buffer at once caused noticeable delays with high-bitrate segments. Instead, wrap each call to appendBuffer in a setTimeout of zero so that the browser has a chance to render frames while the segment is being transferred to the SWF. Make sure that appends-in-progress are cleared if a seek is initiated.
Get rid of leftovers from the previous iteration of managing manifest and stream downloading. That logic has been consolidated into the main plugin file.
Instead of only supporting the src attribute, check options.sources for HLS on init. This means re-implementing something that looks a lot like video.js's source selection algorithm. That's another reason to consider converting this plugin into a tech but I'm deferring that for now.
Bipbop is great for testing because it displays so much information about the current state of the video. Use a standard "src" attribute to initialize the plugin in the example.
Move more of the manifest management and segment loading into a more customary location for a plugin implementation. Get a single segment downloading and playing. Add test cases for the plugin initialization and first segment download. Use a linked version of media sources to pick up an event listening implementation on SourceBuffer that doesn't require an unminified version of video.js.
Switch the example to use the locally committed HLS fixture to avoid CORS issues when trying it out. It will still be necessary to load the example page through a web server, though.
The example page is very ugly but attempts to play two segments of bip-bop. The first segment plays fine but the player seems to jump to the end of the second segment after the first one finishes. Add bip bop test fixtures.
loadWord wasn't incrementing the position in the byte stream so fix it so that the accounting is taken care of. Replace a bunch of single-letter variable names with more descriptive terms. Add some comments. Add tests for exponential golomb parsing.
Fix up a couple remaining issues with the HLS->FLV translation. At this point, we've validated that the generated file can be played back in VLC if you download it to your computer. Added another ts segment for testing purposes. Added unit testing that traverses the generated FLV and validates the tags are constructed correctly and seem consistent.
The parser can process the example TS but it doesn't appear to be correctly formed. The player does seem to correctly interpret the video duration, but the display area is black and there is no audio.
