So, does this only "hook" into video.js, or can it be integrated into other existing players? Can I roll my own? What kind of analytics can it gather? What do you think are the most impressive features of Mux?

  Yep, we work with a few players now, and have several others in development. Ultimately, we'll work with every major web player and mobile/OTT device. You can also roll your own integration if you have a custom player, though if it's HTML5-based, the HTML5 integration might have you covered. Today, we're focused on the performance side of things: errors, startup time, rebuffering, and video quality. Over time, we'll go more places. As for the most impressive features: we're still early (just coming out of beta), and so some of the things we're most excited about are coming down the pipe. As a preview, though, one of the challenges we're tackling is extracting meaning out of streams of data, and so we're working hard on things like alerting and dashboards that surface the most important information (while also making it easy to do your own explorations). That's also why we've spent a lot of time on our interface; we think a good UX is really important to a product like this.

So, if I were to use this today, would I be able to gather some metrics via iOS or Android player?

  Matt here, also from Mux. Native SDKs are in active development, but aren't quite ready for public consumption yet. Soon!
