Notice

Unfortunately the build framework that powers Vodon Pro, electron-react-boilerplate, is now no longer compatable with the latest versions of Electron. I don't have time to go through the project and make the changes required to the build process to upgrade it to use the new Electron. Additionally, it looks like the old version of Chrome that is powering Vodon Pro is having issues with some of the current video formats. I'm not going to take the repo down but I cannot work on it at the moment.

Vodon Pro is a video player designed for esports coaches to review gameplay. The main unique feature that it has is the ability for you to load multiple viewpoints of your team into the player, synchronise them, then watch the videos with the ability to instantly jump to any of the viewpoints of your players.

Synchronising videos

Setup videos

Everything starts in Vodon by telling it how to synchronise your videos. Align each video to the same point in time in the match.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I get warned about the download?

When you download, you may see one or more warnings about the download being "unsafe". This is due to code signing and while I can pay (about $100AUD) to sign my downloads, I haven't got this in place just yet.

Why use this over the inbuilt replay tools?

If you're performing VOD reviews on games with inbuilt replay tools then Vodon Pro will be a poor substitute for those tools... use them instead! That said, not all games support replay files or allow you to easily find and share them.

Why is this an app? I want to use it online!

This comes down to a few reasons, they are:

  1. Video hosting costs a lot of money.
  2. When you store videos that users have uploaded, you compress them to save on space. This means that the videos lose visual quality.
  3. Streaming 5 1080p 60fps videos at once will crush almost anyones Internet connection (even if you compress the videos like in 2!)
  4. Seeks to new locations should be instant. I hate clicking to go somewhere in a video and seeing a buffering icon.
