• Version 0.9.6 - ALPHA
  • Fixes with documentation a bit and README.
• Version 0.9.5 - ALPHA
  • Minor bug fixes with Subtitle/labels still, now loading internal subtitle/label object per default, added a configuration object property called fetchExternalSubtitleLabels set to false that can be overwritten. Updated path in package.json in production folder for making npm work.
• Version 0.9.4 - ALPHA
  • Solved minor bugs with ISO fallback path
• Version 0.9.3 - ALPHA
  • Some minor restructuring of folders and build jobs, now bundling README , LICENSEand a package.json file in the production folder, this so Free Video Player can be deployed to npm. This is my first try lets see how it goes. :)
• Version 0.9.2 - ALPHA
  • Fixed ISO fallback, if we cannot find the subs/label path, the fvp player will load a fallback object instead
• Version 0.9.1 - ALPHA
  • Fixed responseType to json.
  • Included xml2json within the player, not as an external dependency anymore.
  • Fixed a bug with subtitles, the label / subtitles file was not being parsed correctly on load, making the choices become undefined in FVP when an asset with subs was loaded.
  • Started to add some mocha tests to test player when npm test is run. Basically the gulp build command is run and then the tests are run.
• Version 0.9.0 - ALPHA
  • Ability to play adaptive VOD content in the form of DASH
