Super-cool, Tom. Thanks for posting that.
It's an impressive work, both technically for its breadth of support and
with its license, the permissive MIT-like BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License.
Curious about how they were able to pull that off without triggering the
patent wrath of the MPEG-LA consortium, it seems Cisco wrote a large
check and is absorbing the cost internally, not passing that cost on to
users of the component:

This is how we can watch Netflix in Firefox, and many other things with
proprietary and DRM content.
Thanks, Cisco!
