Mux

It’s Day 2 of our spookiest 🧛 Launch Week yet. There’s no need to run to Spirit Halloween for that last-minute costume for your player — we’ve got you covered!! With player.style, an open-source project by Mux, you have access to easy-to-use video and audio player themes, for every web player and every web app framework. Flashback to the days of Realplayer or Winamp, or just get a great looking player theme, all built using Web Components. And to really get your player trick-or-treat ready, make sure to check out our Halloween-themed style: https://lnkd.in/gRgjTPRM Steve Heffernan talks about where the idea for player.style came from and how you can use it: https://lnkd.in/gVpgnG85

Halloween week is upon us! There’s no better week for Mux’s Fall (or is Autumn? Let the debates begin in the comments) Launch Week. We’re starting the week off with our latest Mux Data metric that helps you track those ghostly video views 👻. You know those views that are there one moment and then they’ve dropped — a view with a start time, but you have no idea how it ended. Maybe it’s because a viewer's computer went to sleep with their video running or an application crashed. With Mux Data’s new Dropped View metric and dimension, you can easily differentiate and filter those views from other QoE errors. Read more from Ashley Cutler: https://lnkd.in/gRSXasr4 That’s not all our Mux Data team has been working on, we’ve also recently kicked off the private beta of long-term data storage in the Mux Data Dashboard. Don’t worry, Mux data portability remains untouched and you can still build your custom data workflows to export your data into the systems you use every day, this just gives you another option to access your longer-term data.

If you’ve been subjected to any of my video players + web components talks in the past, you may appreciate this site we just launched. Player.style is a collection of themes for any web player, and any web UI framework. Made possible by Web Components. Free and open source. Check it out and let me know what you think! If you happen to be on Product Hunt, and upvote would be much appreciated. 🙏 (https://lnkd.in/gqf_TKqk) The journey here was longer than it may seem. When I was building Video.js back in 2010 I put a lot of thought into how other developers would customize the player controls. I was excited to use web technologies (instead of Flash) to build a player and I *knew* other web devs would be too. Fast forward 14 years — Video.js has been used on millions of websites including Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, Dropbox, Linkedin and even in United Airlines headrests. In 99.99% of those cases the default Video.js controls were used with little to no customization. So…huge adoption success, utter failure in sparking creativity. In retrospect, asking people to learn a new UI framework just to style their player was too much. Media Chrome and Player.style are my answer to that friction. * Media Chrome - A suite of Web Components and React Components that let you easily build a media player UI from scratch, using components you’re already familiar with. * Player.stye - Themes built with Media Chrome, showing the cross-player and cross-framework flexibility of Media Chrome If either project looks interesting to you, don't hesitate to reach out or jump in. Cheers, -heff
