Developed in collaboration with Kaltura and built upon the Mediawiki platform's TimedMediaHandler extension, the player integrates with a server-side transcoding pipeline and provides a collaborative caption editor to facilitate translations.
Congratulations to Wikimedia for helping move open web video another big step forward.
