<dash-video>
A custom element (web component) for playing DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) videos.
The element API matches the HTML5 <video> tag, so it can be easily swapped with other media, and be compatible with other UI components that work with the video tag.
Built with dash.js.
Originally developed by Mux. Thanks to Steve Heffernan for the original work and contribution.

<dash-video> is packaged as a javascript module (es6) only, which is supported by all evergreen browsers and Node v12+.
Loading into your HTML using <script>
Note the type="module", that's important.
Modules are always loaded asynchronously by the browser, so it's ok to load them in the head 👍, and best for registering web components quickly.
