I have a HTML5 video with jquery hooking into the player like so: video.currentTime += 1; But when IE comes along and insists on using Flash plugins, none of my JQ will work - How am i supposed to control the video when Flash takes over from HTML5?
The player im falling back to is JQplayer as "player.swf"
I know it is not right out of the box, but is there a hack anywhere that uses javascript, php, or even flash to play the MP4s if the html5 video tag isn't supported?

Looking into HTML5 video tag, and researching which browsers support which video file types, and my initial thought is things just got harder than just using flash. I am wondering if there is some skeleton code (combined with development approach for videos) that someone has figured out to do the following: If flash is available, use it If not, try html5 video ogg format If that doesn't work, try html5 video h.264 format If that doesn't work, try html5 video webM format Based on what I am seeing, am I correct in thinking that now, in order to accommodate all users on all browsers, a video needs to be published in 4 formats? If so, this HTML5 video thing is an epic fail!
View 2 RepliesI need to make a video page. i used a flash player and implemented the videos on the pages. now my client needs that, the same page have to work with ipads, i know that we have to use html5 video player for that.
My question is in case eventhough html5 video supportable player available that should play the flash content first. in case it will not run the flash player then it should run the html5.
So now Adobe has pulled the plug on Mobile Flash and are pushing more for HTML5, and Silverlight has pulled the plug too, what's next for interactive video content. So if they die out (as they are currently trying to do) how do we access web cams (or even phone cams) on websites. The HTML5 Media Capture looks like it doesn't support streams only Files, so that could be out, is there any alternatives at the moment, or in the near future?

I am trying to capture the microphone and send the recording to my server.. I tried this method here but it records only a big WAV and the upload can be slow sometimes. Is there a way to capture the voice and compress it on the client side? Best method would be to send the recording while recording, but I have no Idea if this is possible. (It works for YouTube Live Webcam recording, it must work for Audio only too..)
View 1 RepliesI am developing a web based multi-player board game and wondering what the best language for the UI would be? Its a board game similar to Go but a lot simpler.I have two options flash or the much touted HTML5 with JS. I have to learn both though I have basic knowledge of JS.The problem with flash is I have to pay for the server component but the UI development could be easier and have a richer look and feel to it. With HTML5 + JS there is no cost involved but the UI development I feel will be clunky and not smooth. This I am not sure.
View 6 RepliesI had created an HTML5 Canvas WebGL game in January for the Mozilla Game On 2010 competition (pretty late, I know - I never released it until yesterday). Now I want to port it to Flash ActionScript 3.0 for a college assignment.I'm well versed with both static languages like C/C++ and Java; and dynamic languages like Python and JavaScript. However I don't know ActionScript, but since it's a subset of ECMAScript it should be pretty easy to understand.I want to learn programming in ActionScript 3.0 so that I may be able to port my game in Flash. To be more specific, I want to know more about:How is ActionScript different from Browser and Server-Side JavaScript, and basics.OpenGL programming in ActionScript (including loading textures, shaders, etc).How to create a HUD in Flash using a 2D HTML5 Canvas like API (in my game I have 2 canvases, one for the 3D game and another overlaying it for the heads-up display).Support for vector and matrix calculations in ActionScript.How to load assets like audio and sprites in Flash.It would be even more helpful if you would check my source code in JavaScript and suggest the best possible way for me to tackle this problem.The code for the main game engine and the game itself may be found in my Github repository.
View 2 RepliesI built a prototype in Adobe Flex, they (customers) liked it. Everything was fine until they later told me that iPads / iOS needs to be supported too.I checked out Adobe's Packager for iPhone. We're evaluating that and we will know if it works out in a couple of days. (We need to get through Apple's red tape and certificates raj so this angle is delayed by a few days!)
There is a growing voice for using HTML5/Canvas as a technology platform itself. And despite being quite proficient in Flex, I think this makes sense.
I'm in need of a HTML5 library that can:
Render "widgets" i.e. containers with forms and components(this should be easy and possible using POHJC - Plain old HTML,JavaScript and CSS )Provide a Tree like control for laying out some data Provide a Canvas where data structures can be represented as basic shapes Provide drag and drop capabilities between Trees, Buttons and Canvas Provide some sort of Tab Navigator container (I guess JQuery works here) Interact with back-end services (JSON/XML calls will be okay, but mapping directly with back-end entities will be awesome!)Renders on latest versions of major browsers, Android OS and iOS (WebKit for mobile?)
I'm ready to give JQuery & JQuery UI a try. I looked at Sencha / ExtJS but it seems we need to maintain two code bases one for normal browsers and the other for mobiles (is that correct?)Single code base, I don't want to suggest to them that multiple code bases for the client need to be maintained. That's a last resort option and would lead to complete ruling out of HTML5 with Flash apps and native apps being developed.Canvas capabilities - I don't want to work with raw canvas and shape tags. This too is a last resort option. Is there any abstraction available?
I have a flash video(.swf) on my website and i want it to convert into such a format so that it remain available from iphone/ipad. Is there any possible way of doing so? Can i convert it into HTML5? If yes can anyone suggest the process and if no, can anyone suggest any other method?
View 6 RepliesI currently have a working Brightcove Smart Player implementation, with Flash as the default and an HTML5 fallback where Flash is not supported (read: iOS). I would like to reverse this: prefer HTML5 video, and use Flash as the fallback.Is this possible, and if so, how? Brightcove seems to have entirely missed the point of providing an HTML5 option by using it as the fallback instead of the preferred format.Additionally, although Brightcove announced plans to support WebM as well as H.264 18 months ago, it seems that the HTML5 player still only supports H.264. Firefox can't (and likely will never) support H.264 for patent (and, IMO, ideological) reasons. Firefox is used far too widel

I'm looking to duplicate the video-embedding technique shown on [URL], whereby they show the flash video to all platforms where flash is available, and only show the HTML5 player on mobile devices. (specifically, iphone / ipad)

I am developing a touch screen application in flash right now. There is a video and when I try to play it, it will take up the whole screen on the stand alone player, but what I want is the video to play on its exact size not taking up the full screen.

View 3 RepliesI told my boss to use HTML5 with a fallback on FLASH.But he said he wants FLASH as the first option, and if the browser (ipad or any other) can't recognize the FLASH , it should play the MP4 file we got. I suggested HTML5 with fallback on Flash. But he wants the opposite.
Using SWFObject (google it) and a SWF Controller (like FlashMediaPlayback.swf).It's very important to understand that the iPad has limitations with video size. So the MP4 file can't be bigger than 720p and 160kbps for audio.

I need a audio and videoplayer that is usable both in non flash-browsers (such as iphone-safari) and in non html5-video-enabled browser (such as all old browsers)Apart from this clean asthetics(think vimeo), support for many codec-types and easyness to implement are all bonuses.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to have a flash video, with fallback to the html5 video element for those browsers which don't support flash, such as iPhone. I'd also like to have valid html5. The issue I see is that in html5, object doesn't support the classid attribute anymore, but this would be required for a user to get flash if they don't have it but want it.
It seems my options are to accept invalid html5 but not have the flash work properly, or have the classid and not have valid html5.
Almost every flash player has an option to display how much of buffer (or % of total video) is downloaded to the client. At the moment I don't see it in any implementation of html5 video player.
The real problem I am trying to solve is to have a way of knowing % of downloaded asset (image/swf/video whatever). In flash its easy by using MovieClipLoader and bytesLoaded property.
Is there any way of doing it in HTML/HTML5/Javascript (without relying on Flash) ?

Is it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).
View 1 RepliesI'm working on implementing a fallback mechanism for the HTML5 video player. I've got a way to replace it with the swfobject Flash player, but how should I detect if any issues have developed?
In other words, if we use the following list of error events that can be thrown, which one should trigger the Flash player replacement? Or should we simply do a replacement if any error is thrown?
Also, where should the onError handler be called? I'm thinking on the video tag, but want to make sure.

Part of a web application I am developing requires the ability to capture still images from a Flash or HTML5 video playing with in a browser. Actually, users of this web app will also have to have the ability to:
Draw a crop box on top of the Flash/HTML5 video player
Be able to resize that box if necessary
Capture the image with in the crop box frame
Have that image be saves and sent to the server
Also, this video image crop/capture tool will also have to be restricted to the perimeter of the video frame. I don't want users getting confused and potentially capturing an image outside of the video frame because all we are concerned about is the content of the video.
I'm searching a solution to play a HTML 5 Video and show different images (or similar) on various points (e.g. min 2:15) in the video.
Is this even possible or I should rather use Flash?
I'm doing Html5 video play on my project with flash fallback (if it doesn't support html5). But both players are loaded if browser supports both.
