may be this one?

Total bloatware. (Joking aside, you can even shave off some bytes by removing the closing tag, which isn't needed.)

I wrote a video player, below, which I'm selling for just $1299.

<video src="your free vid" controls></video>

At least it is a better option to just embed the video, I am mostly looking for an encremental player.

I've read excremental, man did CS did some work on us . . .

Well, if he did, then that would certainly be a site that I would be visiting... :2 cents:

It looks like i just need to encode single mp4 to hls ��

If you just have a few users, then adding the mp4 files to your web server and playing them via a link or embedding them is fine. But if you expect to have alot of users, a streaming server is better.

When you place MP4 files on a web server, users download the files or stream them through progressive download. This means the video is downloaded in sequence, and playback can start while the download is still in progress.

Streaming servers use technologies like RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) or HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). These protocols break the video into small, downloadable chunks or segments, allowing for more efficient delivery and playback.

If users have slow Internet connections, viewing your videos directly from your web server could be a bad experience for them since the video is downloaded in sequence, users might experience buffering if they seek to a part of the video that hasn't been downloaded yet.

Streaming Servers provides a better user experience with adaptive bitrate streaming. This means the server automatically adjusts the video quality based on the user's internet speed, reducing buffering and improving playback.

There are a bunch of other reasons but you get the idea.

If you have several free videos and many users, your web server may choke - consider adding a streaming server to your domain. You can ask your hosting provider to help you with this. If they can't, feel free to contact me.

You could do this easily from just about any sized hosting plan, even small vps plans. If you have hosting with support, you could simply ask for guidance to make this possible.
