This work in progress experimental example demonstrates using a pre-encoded video with a thumbnail frame size and no audio. The small frame helps with load times due to latency and therefore less of a delay displaying the frame hence the requirement of images.
This unfortunately pre-buffers the video depending on the offset times, therefore needs to be encoded as small as possible.
A better example obtaining the video byte data directly may be realised later but complicated to translate to byte requests from offset times. Capturing the video frame for caching with a standard video display is complicated due to cross origin issues cross browser which is the same issue as the snapshot feature requiring cross origin proxy work arounds.
