Demo sites:

NDNts adaptive video is a video player for global NDN network. This project is built with NDNts, Named Data Networking libraries for the modern web. This project demonstrates these NDNts capabilities:

• Use NDNts in a JavaScript project (instead of TypeScript).
• fetch function from @ndn/segmented-object. It uses CUBIC congestion control algorithm to retrieve video segments efficiently.

This project is inspired by iViSA project. Advantages and unique features include:

• Seamless fallback to YouTube on unsupported browsers.
• Playback statistics display.
• Smaller code bundle delivered to browser.

NDNts homepage has blog articles about experiments using this application.
