My Win32 video player required an installation of "K-Lite Codec Pack Full" in order to play all the different video types out there. You could possibly script out that install but I'm not sure if they have silent packages that could be ran by the setup batch file. As for HTTPS; I'm all for it. That's a fantastic idea and I love it. And having JSON would, of course, be epic. Especially since it would work hand-in-hand with HTTPS. Maybe even some sort of deserializer to turn JSON objects into TYPEs. But that would be difficult, I'm sure.
Couldn't you use a free CODEC like MMPEG that could be included with programs written to play video? This would limit the internal player to MPEG of course but it's a widely used format.
