What is it?

A JavaScript library for enabling HLS video support in browsers.

Why did we choose it?

HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) videos aren't natively supported by a lot of browsers, but is the most common format at present for serving video content efficiently.

What do we use it for?

Enabling videos to play on Deserted Chateau (they wouldn't work otherwise unless we used mp4 containers, and that gets complicated).
