To Combat Loss Of Flash, HotMovies Announces HTML5 Video Streaming On DASH

PHILADELPHIA—As Facebook, Mozilla and more call for the removal of Flash over continued security concerns, HotMovies announced it will begin streaming HTML5 video using Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH). The player runs on all modern browsers including Microsoft Edge, which was released with Windows 10 and will soon be released to mobile browsers. DASH plays without the need for third party plugins (Flash or Silverlight). Due to the native integration with the browser, it is possible to play back very high resolutions such as 4K or very high framerates like 60 fps. Google has already announced that support for Silverlight will be removed from Chrome in September 2015, while the new Microsoft Edge browser does not support Silverlight at all. The increasing security concerns over using Flash have made the development and implementation of the HTML5 player a top priority. It gives HotMovies.com users the most secure and reliable streaming experience possible, now and in the future. “Our customers’ privacy and security are top priorities,” said Bill Barron, CTO of HotMovies.com. “We felt it necessary to lead the way in creating a plugin free experience for our users, while also giving the best experience and quality available in the streaming video market.” HTML5 streaming is just the latest of HotMovies’ many innovations, which also include a comprehensive user recommendation system, mobile streaming, scene searching, the ability to purchase single scenes from full-length movies, and the largest library of adult movies online (200,000 and growing). HotMovies.com has been the top adult video site for the past thirteen years. For more information, visit HotMovies.com.
