html5-video

I am currently looking for how to accomplish what I have been told is possible. I was told that we would be able use vlc to stream a webcam in linux which would allow for the following: Recording the stream to the local machine for a later upload. Play the stream as it's recording using Chrome's HTML5 video capabilities. Send a start and stop command from the web for the vlc recording. I have been researching this for quite some time and haven't been able to find a viable solution. I am able to record video using VLC already with the following vlc v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0 :v4l2-width=640

I have a bunch of html5 video elements, with their preload attribute set to "auto". They start loading just fine, but I think there might be a problem with their caching, because each time I reload the page (without clearing the cache), they start all over again. When I checked the Network panel in firebug, I noticed everything else (images and files) was giving me a "304 not modified" message as espected, while the videos (and audio) files were giving me a "206 partial content" message, in duplicated entries. The "206 partial content" response also appears in duplicated entries when the page

I have the following code: <video controls autoplay> <source src="video/myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="video/myVideo.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="video/myVideo.ogv" type="video/ogg"> </video> The video: displays well in both Chrome and Firefox In Firefox it plays as expected In Chrome it displays but not "autostarts". This is the problem. If I click on it (in Chrome) it plays ok Tried <video controls autoplay>...</video> <video controls autoplay="1">...</video> <video controls autoplay="autoplay">...</video> Nothing worked in Chrome Then I also tried changing the codec,

I use a PHP script to validate video requests before serving them. This script works as expected on the desktop, with Safari and Chrome. But on iOS, I get a broken play button. I'm sure the video is properly encoded for iPhone/iPad, because when I access it directly, it works as expected. The relevant PHP code: $file_name = 'test-video.mp4'; $file_size = (string)(filesize($file_name)); header('Content-Type: video/mp4'); header('Content-Length: '.$file_size); readfile_chunked($file_name); exit; ( readfile_chunked() is similar to readfile() but for very large files, found in the comments on the

How to check if the browser can play mp4 via html5 video tag? This might help you: <script type="text/javascript">'. var canPlay = false; var v = document.createElement('video'); if(v.canPlayType && v.canPlayType('video/mp4').replace(/no/, '')) { canPlay = true; } alert(canPlay); </script> badfur Alex Polo's reply is not bad but incomplete try this to check if the codec is supported too: var mp4Supported = (!!document.createElement('video').canPlayType('video/mp4; codecs=avc1.42E01E,mp4a.40.2')); Likewise for ogg, webm and so on ... Works with audio too :) Justin808 This following link

I need to hide the full screen button of the video tag in HTML5. Is there any way to achieve it ? Thanks. I think you can accomplish this by changing the css for the #document fragments , these are DOM1 specs and supported by all browsers, but about the styling, I'm not sure. Simple webkit browser (chrome on windows) specific solution The following solution is webkit specific video::-webkit-media-controls-fullscreen-button { display: none; } video::-webkit-media-controls-play-button {} video::-webkit-media-controls-timeline {} video::-webkit-media-controls-current-time-display{} video::-webkit

Is there anyway to autoplay a HTML5 video only when the user has the video (or a certain percentage of the video) in the browser viewport? Mikkel Jensen In brief Let's say our browser window W currently scrolled to y-position scrollTop and scrollBottom Our video will NOT be played when its position is at V1 or V2 as below snapshot. Code details $(document).ready(function() { // Get media - with autoplay disabled (audio or video) var media = $('video').not("[autoplay='autoplay']"); var tolerancePixel = 40; function checkMedia(){ // Get current browser top and bottom var scrollTop = $(window)

I am trying to use HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to stream video to my computers and my iPhone. After reading through the Apple 'HTTP Live Streaming Overview' as well as 'Best Practices for Creating and Deploying HTTP Live Streaming Media for the iPhone and iPad', I am a bit stuck. I took my source file (an mkv) and used ffmpeg to encode the file the MPEG-TS format and Apple-recommended settings and a Baseline 3.0 profile: ffmpeg -i "example.mkv" -f mpegts -threads:v 4 -sws_flags bicubic -vf "scale=640:352,setdar=16/9,ass=sub.ass" -codec:v libx264 -r 29.970 -b:v 1200k -profile:v baseline -level:v
