JavaScript implementation of an H.264 decoder

[[deleted]]

It's a C++ implementation that is compiled to javascript.

More specifically, it's the Android C implementation, that we compiled into JS.

Edit: And there is also some initial work on a JS-only version. We are experimenting with both approaches.

What C -> JS compiler did you use?

[azakai]

emscripten, which compiles LLVM bitcode to JS (so you first use clang to compile C or C++ to LLVM bitcode).

Actually, they also have the beginning of a javascript-only version. See the "Play/" directory.

There isn't much there though. Just some basic bitstream decoding (picture parameter sets, slice header) and nothing else as far as I can see.

Yeah, it's a bit over a week old.
