Is jPlayer still maintained or is it DEAD?
jPlayer has not gotten lots of attention since 2014, so I assume this project is END OF LIFE? Bugs just keep on piling up but there is no answer! Anybody still maintaining jPlayer?
Looks pretty dead to me... Not sure why, I haven't found an ideal replacement yet... jPlayer is kinda the industry standard afaik
It's not dead, it's having a wee break. The plan is to start working on jPlayer 3 in the new year. Watch this space!
@maboa Interesting. I was about to fork it and start working on closing out issues myself... I'll be patient.
Well, feel free to fork and close issues - would be interested in which ones you are thinking of tackling.
An idea we're tossing about with jPlayer 3 is to remove the jQuery dependency, another is to finally get rid of the Flash part. This would leave jPlayer 2.x as pretty much a legacy solution that we would maintain up to a point.
We also want to make it more 'polyfil-like' allowing people to use the standard
Whatever we do, we want it to be a community effort so maybe it's something we can all work together towards? :)
Will you add hls support? See my previous question here -> https://github.com/happyworm/jPlayer/issues/375
I'm currently working on giving playlists the ability to display track numbers and track lengths. Currently it's not obvious how to do it.
I just downloaded jPlayer last week though and think it's amazing at the moment.
jplayer badly needs hls support. Please add hls.js support to it. Unable to use it for live content because of its lack of support for hls.
Most of the way through the year and not much has changed... v3 branch hasn't been touched... looks dead to me.
@lustremedia @bensinclair It hasn't been started yet, maybe I will one day but not now. You are more than welcome to start it.
react-jPlayer, react-jPlaylist is fully mainted by me though and will be frequently because I use it for my upcoming website
We ended up building our own playlist using https://plyr.io/. Was extra work but we have much more control and it uses native HTML5 tags. Worth it.
@bensinclair I have been looking at https://plyr.io/ for some time and it seems like a good choice!
@bensinclair jPlayer uses native <audio> and <video> tags by default. Flash is a fallback.
@maboa flash is dead :) but I guess some people still need to support it but we don’t luckily.
Only README.md has received an update in last days, all others 3 years ago. That makes people start thinking that this project is dying out as less activity in recent time. Please restart development and continue fixing bugs/adding features. I'm out-of-hands here, have to much own + some here on github (like @friendica).
