Regardless of which, follow the instructions in our [contribution guidelines for reporting issues](https://github.com/sampotts/plyr/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-issues). We need good information or it's not possible to help you. ### 1. Does Plyr work with ... ? -Plyr is a HTML5 media players, and hence doesn't directly handle any media formats. It relies on your browser to do it. It's up to you to find out what formats you can use. Recommended resources for this is [Can I Use](https://www.caniuse.com/) and [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/) (in particular [HTML5 video](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video) and [Supported media formats](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats#Browser_compatibility)). If the media format is supposed to work in your browser but doesn't, it's likely that you configured your server incorrectly. Check the console for errors such as incorrect mime-type or CORS. Either way, it's not a Plyr issue. +Plyr is primarily a HTML5 media players, and hence doesn't directly handle any media formats. It relies on your browser to do it.

Either way, it's not a Plyr issue. For media streams, Plyr works with [dash.js](https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/wiki) (for MPEG-Dash streams), [hls.js](https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/) (for HLS streams) and [Shaka Player](https://github.com/google/shaka-player) (for both formats). Read their documentation for more information and use our [templates](https://github.com/sampotts/plyr/#try-plyr-online) to try them out with Plyr. +Plyr also supports YouTube and Vimeo via built in plugins. + ### 2. Can you support video provider ... ? (Twitch, Dailymotion etc) Plyr supports YouTube and Vimeo besides HTML5 media. We won't add more providers to Plyr directly since that will slow down the core development as well as make Plyr bigger for people who don't need the extra providers. Instead we plan to add support for plugins.
