Feature request - Upgrade audio/video support to html5
Reported by dleffler | December 17th, 2012 @ 08:43 PM | in 2.2.0beta2 (closed)
We need better audio/video support for html5 esp. since flash is becoming deprecated on more platforms (apple, androide, etc...)
Flowplayer has moved to html5 only which doesn't support flash (.flv,.f4v) or audio (.mp3) files. Nor is flash readily available on a growing list of platforms. However, http://mediaelementjs.com seems to support multiple types.
Solution would be something that seems to work transparently across platforms and browser (versions). Should also be a single solution for both audio and video and fill in the gaps between browsers since the browser file support list provides little overlap (.mp4, .ogg). Would also require us to move to use html5 video/audio tags/markup.

As a note...there are probably a kad-jillion html5 players out there, but...
- we need an all-in-one solution for both audio & video
- needs to be open-source/gpl
- needs to 'play' old flash file and new web formats
- needs to be transparent across browsers and platforms
- should probably NOT require jQuery, BUT have a jQuery layer

Have a locally working version of mediaelement.js v2.10 for filedownloads. May want to create a new module to deprecate flowplayer & youtube modules using mediaelement since it handles all. Concerned that simply upgrading flowplayer might break some existing video playback (flv/f4v)

Nice thing about using mediaelement for youtube videos, is you only need the plain url (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR4CCLnmf1Q) NOT the embed code which we must manipulate...
Tagged as video with a source type of video/youtube

Some other alternatives are jPlayer (jQuery) http://www.jplayer.org & AlloyUI (YUI) http://alloyui.com & jquery.mb https://github.com/pupunzi/jquery.mb.miniAudioPlayer (which also has a video widget). Problem with these is there seems to be a separate protocol/widget for video & audio

Merged in ticket #832 since we'll ensure that all views in filedownloads uses the mediaplayer option.

Must deal w/ backwards compatibility. Not an issue w/ move from flowplayer/youtube to new mediaplayer module, but there may be existing.
We also still use flowplayer for the info preview in file manager

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
We've settled on MediaElement.js as the player of choice. The Flowplayer and YouTube modules will be deprecated over time since their functionality is now included within the new Media player module.
