html5-video

I know one difference between ogg video and mp4 video is that ogg video doesn't have metadata describing the file size, so when an ogg video is loaded, the controls can't show the time remaining until the file has fully loaded. This can be a problem if the ogg video is more than a few minutes long. Is there a way to get this filesize when the page is requested? (Client-side developer, asking a question that I think has a server-side answer. I welcome suggested edits to this question, if you can think of a way to ask it more specifically.) Well although not the most direct, you could try this.

I have a Qt 4.6 based application which use QtWebView to load a HTML page with tag inside to play a network multimedia source on Windows platform. Instead of using the default PHONON playback engine i build another PHONON back-end engine to handle the media download, demuxer,decoder, rendering etc. It works pretty well. However i need to update to Qt 5.1 to benefit the improvement and bug fix in latest QtWebView. From Qt 4.8 PHONON was dropped and when porting to Qt 5.1 my self implemented playback engine is unknown to QtWebView and my app doesn't work at all. Does any body have an idea how to

We have online website system with a lot of feature such as playback video etc. The purpose is that we want to make offline mode application for the iPad with UIWebView support. Two choices: Use HTML5 manifest to implement offline mode , here Download all content of HTML/JavaScripts/CSS and resources such as images/videos, then use UIWebView to load the HTML file For the solution 1, after searching we found a lot of problems such as cache limitation, not clear answer , 5MB ? 50 MB ? hard to control , HTML/CSS/JS files are okay, but for video etc, not stable live by session ... So we would give

If I wanted to embed 20 videos on a page will they all start buffering on page load or will they wait until they are played/interacted with for the first time? If they buffer on load how could I circumvent this until I want to display the video? I don't want a user to be buffering 20 videos when they may only be watching one or even none at all. You are looking at the preload attribute of HTML5 video tag. Here is the doc . Basically there are three options : auto - when browser should load the entire video when the page loads metadata - when browser should load only metadata when the page

I've been trying to set a video as background, I have the flv-file and youtube-link. Putting it on my website isn't that difficult with html5 video-tag or jquery but I can't find how I can put it on my website but not auto starting. I have a semi-transparent rectangle where the text will come over. So my idea was creating a button or link to let the text and rectangle dissappear and letting the video play. Does anyone knows a good plugin or script to do this or can someone bump into the right direction. greetz Barlas Apaydin You can do this with native browser html5 video player too which will

I'm working on a mobile web app and want to allow for continuous playback of HTML5 audio or video in both Android and iOS (i.e. queue up a playlist of YouTube videos or Grooveshark songs and have them all play in a row automatically). Android doesn't seem to be an issue, but everything I've read has suggested that Safari prevents audio from playing unless it's initiated by a user, and prevents continuous play if the screen becomes locked. That said, Grooveshark's mobile web app will play an entire playlist of songs in my iPhone 5 (iOS 7). It'll play the next song even if I'm in another Safari
