jQuery Forum

Hi,

I´m working on something very similiar, called jMediaelement. Also HTML5, also jQuery UI and Themeroller...

The design isn´t that polished, but uses flash (jwplayer) and vlc as fallback plugins. (there are some known issues with vlc, but jwplayer support is good)

I have made some simple demos and some getting started information.

The project has also a11y in mind:
- keyboard shortcuts firefox-style (but not added to the version control/demos, yet)
- caption/subtitle plugin with timerange-event addon (logic only, you have to write the UI your own)
- we are currently using also an wai-aria enhanced ui.slider (ui 1.8beta) extension (about 1kb), wich can be also plugged into the timeline- and volume-slider (i can make the code accessible).

i also want to cover the codec problem, by adding support for cortado (java applet) and nuantis highgate media suite (silverlight). but, by now the cortado player has too much issues (the guys from xiph are working on cortado, to make it better) and the media suite isn´t officially released.

currently, i wanted to try, to add nicer demos and some more documentation. help/forking is always appreciated.

@go.on.joe - I like that.  I didn't see the progress bar moving when the movie was playing in Chrome.

That's interesting.  I'm using chrome also and everything seemed to work just fine, including the progress bar.  Maybe different underlying OS?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm currently moving, so I had not the time to update the code. MP4/Flash (maybe iphone) Support will not be the problem at all. I will try it these days.

@info.corrupt_system: I like the way the progress bar shows the preloading process. I will check your code. The basic slider documentation does not tell anything about this.

Great. Just what I was looking for. A video player with keyboard shortcuts allows a remote control to be configured to drive the player (unlike Flash)

Added Themeswitcher and video/mp4 for google chrome/safari (but not testet so far). My Macbook is still in a box. *gg*

I've also done an jQuery "implementation": http://github.com/azatoth/jquery-video

Might be a stupid question but is there any way to use this to change the source for the video?  Like if a user clicks on a link to have it change the video that's playing?  I've been trying to find a solution for that in HTML5 with little luck so far.

/me has also been busy writing a jQuery implementation for the HTML5 video and audio tags. Check for yourself http://www.openimages.eu/oiplayer/ or http://plugins.jquery.com/project/oiplayer A previous version is in use for a while now without controls on Open Images.

Hi all,

I have released the jme development kit, yesterday. I have announced, it in the Using jQuery forum. Please have a look @jme-site and give some feedback.


@go.on.joe

I haven't looked to this post again. The progress-event buffer property has changed over time, there are 4 different implementation in the current browsers (old webkit (safari), new webkit (chrome), firefox). To fix this, I wrote the follwing code (full feature detection/no browser sniffing :-) ).

My comment just disappeared. Hope it doesn't show up twice.

I'm really impressed, HTML5 isnt even fully standardised - especially video and it looks like you have done an amazing job here with compatibility.

I am currently researching the early uptake of html 5 and this example is one of the most advanced, html 5 will revolutionise how search engines function.

I wonder if we should start using HTML5 tags or wait until browsers have caught up with the syntax?

I have discussed a few of these issues on my jQuery blog here:

let me know what you think!

Cheers
