Comment on Show HN: Winamp and other media players, rebuilt for the web with Web Components

Comments

Since there are video experts around in this thread, does anyone know if there are implementations out there for a player that enables fast smooth scrubbing with audio, similar to how you can scrub and/or watch the timeline at 16x in Adobe Premiere. I guess one needs to eagerly load something like a 16khz mono audio track and some sort of 1fps sprite or 240p video format with I-frames only to switch to on scrub.

Anything frame-accurate or smooth scrubbing has always been a challenge with he abstraction level of the video element. I don't have an exact answer from you, but you might look around the web codecs space, where more performant examples are being built at a lower level. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebCodecs_A...
