JavaScript? In *my* native video app's core streaming library?...
summary
Claim: put a tiny Media Source core into native apps and run a JavaScript protocol engine above it that can be versioned with server releases. They build onesie for instant byte delivery and manifestless live for CDN-friendly live segments, use HTTP/QUIC and light edge compute, and report latency drops but still hit race conditions, seek oddities, and a long‑tail of unupdated clients. The approach trades server rigidity for client‑localized workarounds and enables server‑side ML fusion at the cost of deployment and coverage complexity.
