Dolphin

Dolphin — maintained by ByteDance — is a project aimed at providing a high-performance, robust, and extensible media or multimedia framework / player infrastructure (or possibly a streaming media solution), intended to meet modern demands for efficiency, flexibility, and integration in media-heavy applications. It seeks to combine performant media playback or handling (audio/video decoding, streaming, buffering) with a modular, developer-friendly API that allows easy embedding into larger applications or services. Because multimedia delivery requirements vary widely (adaptive streaming, live feeds, cross-platform compatibility, custom UI, performance constraints), Dolphin aims to offer a foundation that developers can build upon or adapt to their needs. It is designed to integrate with other tools and libraries and provide stable playback or media-processing pipelines, while remaining open-source so that users can inspect, extend, and adapt it.
