Replace Flash player with HTML5

[Petr Nejedly]

Needs to support:

• audio track switching
• subtitles selection
• quality selection
• seeking of transcoded files (can we show the full duration and move the bullet?)
• pausing transcoded streams (see #940)

Should probably use the hlsjs plugin to avoid Flash alltogether.

Potential flowplayer replacement: https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com/ For this we might look at moving to FFmpeg DASH from HLS.

Waiting for FlowPlayer 7 release.

I have started implementing a media browser web interface from scratch, it is available on GitHub: https://github.com/user890104/serviio-media-browser It supports only HTML5 player with HLS (no Flash at all). It also supports captions, and does not transcode the video, only downmix audio to stereo. It comes with an additional Application profile XML Hope to see it integrated in the original Mediabrowser soon!
