HTML - Html5 Video Degrade To Flash
I am a relative newcomer to HTML5, and love it, especially the ability to use video more easily. I am trying this out with the ability to gracefully degrade to Flash for those browsers that do not support the <video> element, and thought that this would work:-
Code: <video width="640" height="480" controls>
<source src="videos/coots.ipad.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="videos/coots.webmvp8.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source src="videos/coots.theora.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="480" id="movie_name" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="videos/coots.swf.swf"/>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="videos/coots.swf.swf" width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="videos/coots.swf.swf"/>
<!--<![endif]-->

It seems to work fine in Firefox and Opera, but Chrome (surprisingly) seems to ignore it, as does (unsurprisingly) IE8. I have been puzzling over it for a couple of days now and can't see the solution. I know the solution will be quite obvious when I see it, but I am just to close to it at present to be able to figure it out... Similar TutorialsHi, Im tryin to use html5 video so my video can be watched by most browsers and cell phone OSs. Having an issue. the link working in Safari (on win) but not in FireFox http://beerdiaries.com/html5/html5.html any idea why? thanks i heard somewhere this is a war.. can I ask (not to familiar with html5) what about html5 encroaches on flash? what new elements/features? If it does compensate i know Jobbs will be pushing the hell out of it (html5) I have a nice little HTML5 demo that plays a video in a canvas that is not displayed. As part of the demo, I copy "frames" from the hidden canvas into a resized canvas that is displayed. My "custom" code to manipulate the video frames works fine. What doesn't work depends on the browser, but also the source of the video. If the source of the video is on the local disk along with the html file, it plays fine and it loops fine in both Safari, Chrome. Opera and Firefox. If the source of the video is on the web, either as a local (to the website) where the html file is stored, or if the html file is local but the video is on the web, then Safari works fine. Chrome displays the video ONE time and then stops. The loop does not work. Remember, same code, works fine if all data is local. Changing the source URL of the video to a website is the ONLY change. Opera and Firefox do not display anything except the box rectangle when the video source is on the web. Firefox gives the error: Quote: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///Volumes/Olorin/sliceNdice/demow.html :: processFrame :: line 34" data: no] No errors show up in Opera, but no video is displayed.

Works if all files are local, shows box outline if all files are on the web: Code: <video id="sourcevid" autoplay loop=loop> <source src="BigBuckBunny_640x360.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> <source src="BigBuckBunny_640x360.ogv" type="video/ogg"/> </video> Fails: Code: <video id="sourcevid" autoplay loop=loop> <source src="http://catalystart.reststop.com/html5/BigBuckBunny_640x360.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> <source src="http://catalystart.reststop.com/html5/BigBuckBunny_640x360.ogv" type="video/ogg"/> </video> Note: Safari works in both cases, as long as all files and website are reachable. Chrome works to play the video ONCE, then stops. Firefox and Opera show an empty outline, but no video. I'm not a cross-browser expert. I will accept any and all possible solutions to try. In the meantime, I will continue to see if I can find the problem. Obviously, I want it to work from a website. Hi I have a Flash video player that brings up IE's yellow warning bar, and whne you click to allow it, it won't play even after you say 'yes, play it'. It only happens in IE7 It's at http://www.directhometherapy.com.au Any ideas how to allow the player? Thanks for taking a look. Shaun Finally finished this book! Book does not mention much about integrating sound, animation, video and flash, can I cover each of those here or do you guys have an easy to understand link for these please? hello I tried to publish a flash video so I could use it as a website background. everything works great in dreamweaver, but when I transfer all my files to my schools server the video no longer works. does anyone have some ideas? Ill provide files if needed. Thank you-Micah I assume that this should not be in the Flash section as it seems as the threads there are discussing problems within the Flash program, not putting Flash videos on your webpage. Anyway, I put my flash video on my website and it has black borders on the left and right sides of the video. I would like to remove them, but I don't know a whole lot about flash video parameters. Could anyone tell me how to do this? Here's my code for the index page: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

My website is www.avavenue.com. Thanks a ton to anyone who helps out . I want to have a FLASH video overlay an image (the first frame of the video). How to I do this? I've tried using the <NAME> tag and the <ID> tag. Neither works, or I'm not coding them correctly. To view the video I'm working with click on this URL: http://RDStouffer.net/geyser/ The above directory contains three items - geyser.jpg, index.html and geyser.swf Here is the relevant HTML code-- <IMG SRC="geyser.jpg" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" BORDER="0" ALT="Sawmill geyser"> <OBJECT CLASSID='clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' WIDTH='320' HEIGHT='240'><PARAM NAME=MOVIE VALUE='geyser.swf'><PARAM NAME=QUALITY VALUE=HIGH><PARAM NAME=BGCOLOR VALUE=#FFFFFF></OBJECT> How do I modify this code so the SWF video clip plays on top of the geyser.jpg image rather than next to it? Thank you for your help. [Where did this grinning green lightbulb come from? More important, how do I get rid of it?] Uncle Richard www.allontheside.com The flash video works fine in safari, and firefox but internet explorer doesn't even recognize it as a flash file.. any1 have any suggestions? I am having a problem with my site on IE 6. It's weird because I downgraded my browser to IE 6 so that I can detect these kinds of problems but it looks fine on my computer but weird on others. Heres my issue.... On IE 6, after the movie loads up, it stops loading the rest of the html after the video. So right after the video,the rest of the coding won't load. It works on every other browser but I want to try to get it to work on IE 6 because a lot of people still use it. Here is one of my video pages http://webtvdeluxe.com/v2/videos/Jones%20vs%20Trinidad/ It anyone can help me out, that would be great. Thanks in advance Hello! I am trying to replace my existing flash videos with newer ones. These newer videos I converted from Quicktime to swf. I replaced the video file name with the newer video file name and it uploaded fine. There are a couple problems though. It doesn't have the Play, Stop, etc controls at the bottom and it is on a loop. Here is the link to the new video: http://www.swingmangolf.com/isokinetics.swf Here is the code with the new video: <table width="158" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><br /><br /> <td height="126" align="center" valign="middle"><script> //<!-- AC_RunFlContentX ("src","Isokinetics.swf","quality","high","width","550","height","315","wmode","transparent","autost art","false"); //-->1 z </script></td> </tr> </table> How do I get the controls to show up and to stop it from playing over and over!?!?! I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 and I am trying to get a flash embed to display on it but I am having a lot of trouble. i have successfully used and enabled different flash objects elsewhere but this is the only one that wont run. so I know it will work.

Can anyone help me to make sure the flash displays right? what happens is the player loader displays at the top instead of the center and the control buttons are present before it loads. then after the loader fails it shows a "cannot connect" error. so I think the flash object is resizing inside its self. can anyone help me clean up this script so it will display correctly in iPhone safari (with flash enabled)? website is he smalldotdesign.zxq.net/iSwim.html that is where the HTML file is located that I am trying to get corrected. thanks in advance. i have a feeling this is going to be a tough fix. Hey all, Is it possible to shut down video screen automatically after displaying the video? I mean, after video is over, is it possible to hide the video screen?

hi everyone, Can anyone provide me canvas tutorials? I am keep to update more knowledge on html5 and its tags. If you can provide me related information. Thankyou. Heya peeps. I have a problem I'm trying to overcome as shown below (From another thread): I'm in the process of building a website where audio can be purchased and downloaded. I want each file to allow a preview, but would rather the preview occur on the same page, rather than load up a blank page with a quicktime plugin splodged in the middle. Is there a way of doing it? All I want is a basic play/pause/stop button. To control a piece of sound. It seems that I may be able to achieve this using HTML 5, but I'm worried that people won't be able to read it with there browsers. Am I mistaken? Thanks Hey folks, I have a background in traditional enterprise software, and I am trying to gain expertise on newer technologies. I will greatly appreciate, if you could help me understand, when to use HTML5, when to use Flash and when to use Silverlight. If you could point to some tools etc that will be helpful. Thanks for your help i have to draw ball on canvas in html 5 depending on the input given by user in a textbox. ex: if a user enter 5 in a textfield, 5 ball should draw on canvas. I was quite surprised to discover that a lot browsers are already starting to support HTML5... While the support isn't comprehensive, and it isn't universal - it does seem to at least work reasonably well - at least for those elements that are not tied to media: http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2009/re...ml-5-wai-aria/ I'm already thinking about making use of HTML5 in new projects... I quite like the idea of <header> and other elements. Greetings, Can some one explain me the difference between HTML4 and HTML5? what is the content management system, and what are the benefits of CMS? Do you heard the word Joomla? |
