About Episode 2: Node.js First Steps

The player above streams the episode right in your browser through the supplied WebM and MP4 sources, and a poster image appears before playback starts. Since the page is built to work inside an iframe, you can embed it in another page or open it on its own without the rest of the site's navigation.

The player controls let you play, pause, scrub through, and change the volume of the episode. The video element uses preload="auto", so buffering starts the moment the page loads, and it publishes the episode number and title as data attributes for any host page that wants to read them.
