Challenge Overview
The Hercules Player is an application that allows customers to download videos to their computer or device for offline playback, along with streaming playback of videos for online playback.
There is a proof of concept done as an iOS application that works correctly, but the client has requested an HTML5 version. The new version of the app will be used on browser-based versions of the application, as well as wrapped in native code and used as the iOS and Android versions, leading to a single HTML5 codebase that covers all platforms.
The current playback window, used on the streaming site, Windows, and Mac native applications, is currently implemented using HTML5. To take advantage of the hardware-acceleration features of Flash, we are going to rebuild that screen entirely in Flash, allowing Flash to handle the full screen functionality of the video playback.
