Thanks for the above links, the contents of which have finally thrown
some light on what people REALLY mean when they talk about the "HTML5
video player", but somehow can't seem to say it clearly. For instance,
the videojs site says that
"Video.js is an open source library for working with video on the web,
also known as an *HTML video player."
*What, exactly, is this ungrammatical and ambiguous sentence actually

The term "open source library for working with video on the web" is
being equated with the term "HTML video player." In the simplest
possible terms, such a "library" is also called a "player."
Definition of "software library" from The Free Dictionary: "a collection
of standard routines used in computer programs, usually stored as an
executable file."
So the sentence really isn't ungrammatical or ambiguous. You just have
to know how to parse it.
