- RTMP support (us18)
- Fallback to HTML5 video when Flash player is not supported (iOS) (us18)
- Javascript API that works identical in Flash mode and HTML5 mode
Features that are required and nice to have built-in but we can write them ourselves
- Playlist (us11)
- Clip making (us3, us64)
- Closed captions (us43)
- Accessibility (us10)
- Blocking access to certain segments of a video (us90)
