Being a beginner and having no idea what I’m doing: I’ve been wondering just how hard it is to write a library to manipulate HTML video tags. I look at videojs and I’m baffled before I even begin.

1. Is it really necessary to have that much JavaScript, when all you’re doing is fine tuning those tags?
2. How do you make sense of what is there, anyway? It just looks like it is spaghetti
3. Where do you start? Thoughts?
