Hi,

What's the process of web browser player?  
I want to play video in webOS, is it possible? And if so, what's the process?  
If I play youtube url, or other url that comes out video, is it possible like in chrome browser?  
How can I call the web browser player?  
Should I using the LS2 API? If so, what can I use the api?  
I just wanted to test, launch .ipk using the 'Built-in Web Apps' edit index.html like this

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="EUC-KR">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
	<div class="content">
    <video controls width="560"height="315">
			    <source src="./img/test.mp4">
		</video>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

```

I launched that in emulator, and it works.  
There are no luna api, but it works. How it could be?  
Sorry for that I have a lot of questions, but I want to know how it works.

Thanks

What's the process of web browser player?

> As far as I know, the process like this: web application --\> web browser (Chromium-based) ---\> Media Service. So if you want to play video only on the web application. you can use browser API, such as video tag. I think it is enough to play the video without DRM. Playing DRMed video is a different story.

I want to play video in webOS, is it possible? And if so, what's the process?

> YES! you can play video on webOS. The webOS platform supports HTML5 APIs.

If I play youtube url, or other url that comes out video, is it possible like in chrome browser?

> YES, but it is not perfectly the same as chrome browser in the desktop PC.

How can I call the web browser player?

> You can call it using video element. [HTML Video](https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp)

Should I using the LS2 API? If so, what can I use the API?

> If you want to play a video on a native application or services, you can use media service ( [com.webos.media | webOS Open Source Edition](https://www.webosose.org/docs/reference/ls2-api/com-webos-media/))

If you application was launched and worked on the emulator, I think it will be worked on RPI4.

A web browser is **application software for accessing websites**. When a user requests a web page from a particular website, the browser retrieves its files from a web server and then displays the page on the user's screen. Browsers are used on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
