Is the standard web video player dead? (Building an AI-native player)

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been building video products for a while, and I noticed a huge gap. As publishers and website owners, we spend hours creating content, but we serve it up in "dumb" players that haven't evolved in a decade.

If your user misses a concept, they leave. If they don't speak the language, they bounce.

I’m building Ray Media, an embeddable HTML5 player designed to upgrade the experience on your website. It gives your visitors AI-powered tools to actually interact with your content, not just watch it.

• 100+ Language Support: Auto-generate and translate subtitles instantly. Upload once, reach the world.
  

• Smart Summaries: Key takeaways and deep dives generated inside the player - perfect for EdTech and long-form content.
  

• In-Video Search: Users search spoken phrases and jump directly to the timestamp. No more scrubbing.
  

• Chat With Your Content: Viewers ask questions and get answers from your video - without leaving your page.
  

• Smart Dictionary: Instant lookup for words and phrases, right in the player.
  

• Full Playback Flexibility: AirPlay, Chromecast, and HLS streaming built in. VAST pre/mid/end roll ads + subtitle text ads.

I'd love your feedback: If you run a media content platform or educational site - would you switch from your current media player to something like this? What features or integration concerns would hold you back?
