We updated our audio/video (and TV) 3rd party JS-based player from v6.8 to v8.2 today.
This was updated with some code to have the same feature set as before, as well as new:
- much nicer cosmetic/look updates
- nice “rewind 10 seconds” button
- controls are now in an updated control bar
- (video) ‘Related Items’ now uses the same (better) recommendations from the bottom of an archive.org /details/ page
- Airplay (Safari) and Chromecast basic casting controls in player
- playback speed rate control now easier to use / set
- playback keyboard control with
SPACE

,down
keys - (video) Web VTT (captions) has much better user interface and display
- flash is now only used to play audio/video if html5 doesnt work (flash does not do layout or controls now)
