This repository is a comprehensive, curated list of open-source tools, frameworks, libraries, and learning resources for video streaming, encoding, editing, and playback. It serves as a valuable reference for developers, engineers, and researchers working across the entire video technology stack, from player development to advanced transcoding and content protection.

How It Works

The list is meticulously organized into broad categories such as Video Players, Editing & Processing, Encoding & Transcoding, Streaming & Distribution, and Media Analysis. Within these categories, it further breaks down into specific sub-topics, providing links to relevant projects, tools, and documentation. This hierarchical structure allows users to quickly navigate and discover resources tailored to their specific needs in the video domain.
