Popcorn.js is an event framework for HTML5 media. Popcorn.js utilizes the native HTMLMediaElement properties, methods and events, normalizes them into an easy to learn API, and provides a plugin system for community contributed interactions.

0.7 Current Version

0.8 August 30th

This release will focus on potential API changes in the core, which means fixing things that use the core (e.g., plugins) with a view to shaking out any changes that need to happen to the core in order to support them. This will include a rework of our player plugins (e.g., youtube), helper methods for media attributes, a new custom UI API for extending/replacing the video controls, etc. You can see a complete list of current bugs here:

0.9 week of September 26th

This release will signal an API freeze for the core, such that we can focus on documentation and testing in the lead-up to 1.0.

1.0 November 6th

We will ship Popcorn.js 1.0 in the first week of November, launching at the Mozilla Festival (Mozilla Festival — Media, Freedom and the Web London UK, November 4 - 6, 2011). This release will be focused on bug fixes, and end-user facing features like documentation, packaging, the web site, and other things needed in order to find, get, and use Popcorn.js.
