What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Plugins

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Playr is dead. LeanBack Player is dead. SublimeVideo is dead.

https://videosws.praegnanz.de/ hasn't been updated since June 2018. Is there a more up-to-date comparison of HTML5 video players?

What did you expect to see?

I was hoping to see what video players fed subtitles to Firefox's picture-in-picture so I can decide on a video player for my own website.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Thanks for raising this — I’ve opened #22178 with a fix that removes the entire Plugins list. For the rationale about why the article is better off without that Plugins list, see the description there.

I was hoping to see what video players fed subtitles to Firefox's picture-in-picture so I can decide on a video player for my own website.

That’s a reasonable information need, but it does not seem to be one that MDN is well-suited to providing.

A site such as https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/ seems like a better place to get that kind of information — either by searching for existing questions and answers there, or else by asking there a question like “I’m trying to decide on a video player for my own website. Here are the ones I’ve considered so far. Are there others I should consider?”

My apologies but I received no answer on that site. Do you know which video players feed subtitles to Firefox's PiP?
