MCAV (pronounced EM CAV) is an incredibly powerful multimedia library for Java, serving as the successor of EzMediaCore2. MCAV utilizes several low-level libraries like FFmpeg, OpenCV, and LibVLC (from VLC media player) to provide a seamless playback experience for developers and users. Designed for pure performance and compatability, MCAV isn't just a YouTube player, but a robust player for live-streams, local files, and even a web browser.
MCAV is not a library just for Java developers, but also a great library to integrate Minecraft plugins with. While you can use MCAV in any Java project, there's also a Bukkit-specific module that provides useful features allowing you to play videos like the following.
