User-friendly video playback on the web
summary
Shows how to serve MP4/WebM with HTTP range requests so browsers stream instead of waiting for a full download, demoing a local server that emits 1 MB chunks and a real adaptive setup that switches from 1080p to 360p under throttling. Notes Chrome sometimes pulls parts over one TCP connection while Firefox requests the whole file. Describes building ABS with ImageKit + video.js to generate segments and playlists; demos work end to end.
