BoxOffice, the running player

The consumer video surface, running. Pick a title to open the player: hls.js against a real multi-bitrate ladder, with the resume clock and the mid-title token refresh.

How it works

Same pod and same tunnel as Billboard. Opening a title asks the BoxOffice Worker for a signed HLS manifest, and hls.js climbs a 480/360/240p ladder from there. The signature expires mid-title on purpose, and the player re-signs it without losing its place.

What is real, what is stubbed

Real: the catalogue, the player, the HLS pipeline and every Worker call. Resume position and My BoxOffice belong to an account, so an anonymous visitor sees them empty.
