Mux-flavored HTML video tag
The mux-video HTML video tag is introduced as a drop-in replacement for the standard <video> element, ensuring reliable HLS playback and Mux Data instrumentation. It automatically sets up and configures Hls.js with optimal settings and handles edge cases like retrying on recoverable errors. The <mux-audio> tag works similarly to replace the <audio> element. These tags can be used in various frameworks such as React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, etc., by importing or requiring the library into your code. Styling for these elements can be done using CSS, and custom controls can be built with HTML elements and event listeners. The mux-video tag is part of a larger Mux Elements monorepo that aims to build more elements to make developers' lives easier when working with Mux.
