How to force HTML5 video?

hey,
I did a clean install of Yosemite on my mid-2010 MBP 13, and one of the supposed things that was supposed to come of Yosemite (and Safari) was HTML5 video playback.
1) I have "prefer HTML5 playback" set w/Netflix, but, it still demands me to download Silverlight.
1) I cannot find a way to play HTML5 YouTube videos, so, I had to get Flash
I haven't gone into vimeo or other things yet, but, this just doesn't make sense.
If I can play non-flash YouTube videos, and don't need Silverlight for Netflix on my iOS device, then I absolutely demand I be able to do the same on my Mac!! Even my 4-year old Mac has a more powerful processor than the iOS devices that can play 1080p video!!!
Anyone know what settings I need to adjust? Is there something I'm missing in Safari, because I should be able to force the HTML5 video by now.
(Don't tell me to get Chrome, I despise google, they MADE me a google plus account just to sign in and manage my youtube playlists. Now they have another count for their social network, which I do not use at all.)
I don't use this support site, much, but trying to get someone from apple to read this.
thanks!

"I don't have Adobe Flash installed, and YouTube videos play just fine in Safari 8. So do all other videos I have come across on various websites. If you find a site that seems to demand Flash Player, post its URL and I'll let you know what happens."
I found a site: youtube.com! (yes I am using Safari 8, I did a clean install of Yo, so, there it is.) Which Mac model do you have? If you can do it on your Mac, then I don't need to contact google or netflix, I need to get Safari to tell the server to pull the HTML5 video.
"...Perhaps your account's YouTube preferences needs a setting altered to force it to use HTML5? ..."
Please tell me where these preferences are, I can find nothing, I have looked everywhere for some kind of setting for this.
"Try uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, using Adobe's uninstaller utility. Don't use anything else to eradicate it. Download the uninstaller directly from Adobe's website."
I don't need to, before I got flash, before I signed in to my youtube account it would not play, I tried and tried, it required flash player.
• Apple must have implemented this only on certain newer Macs, yet, I am sure my Mac will do it, as I read elsewhere that people were using Chrome for HTML5 video playback, and, in fact, it ran fine on a machine such as mine, better than playing flash (uses less processor power). So I know it's possible.
• Can anyone else tell me if there is some setting within Safari I can force HTML5 video playback somehow?
I even tried to go to youtube's mobile site, but, it redirects me.

How to force a video connection?

We have a mixed environment with a CCM 5 and an old PBX (ericsson BP250) with a qsig connection.
When a videocall between Cisco Phones is forwarded on an Ericsson phone, it is forced to be an audiocall (qsig doesn't support video calls)
If it's forwarded again on a Cisco phone, how can I force the video connection?
Thanks

Are you stating that a video call gets transferred to the PBX and then back to CCM? Of course the video goes away, you transferred the call through an analog only PBX integration.
Even with Q.SIG path replacement working correctly, this may not work, but is worth a try. Be sure that path replacement for tromboned call routing is enabled on the PBX and in CCM (global settings, route patterns, translation patterns, partitions, CSSs)...
Are the video endpoints SCCP (skinny, i.e. Cisco, Tandberg, Sony) or H323?
What partition are the phones and PBX trunks in?
What CSS are the phone extensions in?

How to use HTML5 Video in adf page

Hi,
I need to use HTML5 video instead of af:media in my adf page inorder to avoid browser plugin request to the end user.
I've placed the video tag in .jsff as below:
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" poster="../resource/poster.png">
<source src="../resource/FAE_Intro_cropped.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="../resource/FAE_Intro.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
When I run the web application, it shows the poster image but it does not show the video. It simply shows a 'X' in the center.
I'm using jdev version:
Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0
Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660
Can someone please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Bhaskar Podugu

Yes. I tried surrounding with f:verbatim tag but still it did not worked.
The actual HTML file when run outside of jdev (i.e., going to the folder and double clicking the .html file) is showing up the video but when the same is run through jdev as a deployment, it doesn't show up.
I'm testing this in Mozilla FF 9.0.1.
If the reference to the video file is incorrect, it shouldn't even show the poster image but I can see the poster image which is also placed in the same location.
I tried placing af:inlineFrame(pointing it to the actual HTML file) inside jsff page, but it did not work.

How to play HTML5 videos? Please help

So I've used Firefox since ever it came out and now I have problems with playing videos on YouTube because of the HTML5, I currently have Firefox 35.0.1 and I even had 36 but the problem was still there, the only way I found to solve this was to downgrade to 31 since it still uses flash, please help me here, the videos won't play on Firefox but they will play in Internet Explorer.

''John99 [[#answer-691133|said]]''
<blockquote>
May be difficult to sort out if you are on the unsupported Firefox 31 I suggest you upgrade *
If you do need to use Firefox 32 a safer method that works in some cases and in this sort of situation is to use the current up to date secure and supported version (Fx 35.0.1 at the moment), but spoof Fx31 by using an add-on to switch the User Agent String. There is even an add-on but for the opposite problem
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-flash-video-player/
Firefox 35 works for me playing Youtube HTML5 videos.
I attach screenshots of
*https://www.youtube.com/html5 offering HTML5, and using HTML5
Click thumbnails for larger image
YouTube has been making changes and may make further changes relating to different Firefox versions and the Flash/HTML options on YouTube. If anything the more likely problem is being offered only HTML and not FlashPlayer.
Another complication, but again the other way round is that due to a series of security patches having been issued recently for FlashPlayer, so users may have old versions of FlashPlayer that Firefox blocks.
===*===
More complicated but it is possible to install multiple versions of Firefox, but you should also use separate profiles for each version. It is something you may consider trying if you need to keep a working Firefox 31 for playing You Tube until you sort out Fx35.

Force HTML5 Video 100% Height and Width ?

So stage is 100% height and width
the video div is also a 100% height and width
However the background video had spaces to the left and right where it isn't filling the div is there away around this to force it to fit a 100% width and height always leaving no gaps?

Hi there,
You mean stretch the aspect ratio of a video element to whatever size the container is? No, the video will resize to fit in the browser while still retaining its aspect ratio - this is actually desirable in most cases.
It is possible to do what you want using the object-fit css property, but it's currently only supported in the latest versions of Chrome and Opera browsers:

How to customize HTML5 video keyboard controls ?

> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/viewing-html5-audio-and-video#w_keyboard-controls
Is there a file in the application directory for changing them?
I want to change the number of seconds the arrow keys seek by.

HI Adam,
There should be, I tried the controls you linked to on a youtube video. The forward and back arrows changed back and forth at 5 second intervals. This may change where the site implements those functions in the webpage. I cannot find an add on that does this unfortunately.

How can Safari request HTML5 videos?

Hi,
Safari on my iPad plays HTML5 videos.
When I go to the video with Safari on my Mac, I got the message Flash PlugIn missing.
How can I configure Safari on my Mac that it requests HTML5 videos?
Thanks

There are ways to check & see if you can change the default in browser
so HTML5 is available, if supported. Safari should support it...
Here's an example to obtain
•HTML5 for YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5_Test: How well does your browser support HTML5?
https://html5test.com/
There may be others, but this one allows certain functions in lieu of Flash.
Actually, YouTube supposedly now streams HTML5 video -- by default.
Good luck & happy computing!

How does the new HTML5 video Support work? and what are the limitations?

So the new Edge has been relased along with many new features including HTML5 video support So along with the new feature here are a few new questions!
How does Edge load the Video? is it fully preloaded before Edge shows the content ? Or is it more of a "youtube" pregressive load while playing?
Or can we choose?
What is the recommended video file size example 4mb ?
How does edge deal with browsers that only support .ogg or .webm instead of mp4?
How is the support on ISO & tablets? load times, "lag" etc?

When you import an audio or video file a group is created for you. You can import media with the same name(videosample.ogv; videosample.mp4) to this group for ensuring browser compatibility. The corresponding format will be chosen depending on the browser that loads the composition.
Regarding WebM format - You can also add a webm file in your composition;However since this is a royalty format, Animate will not show a live preview inside the Authoring tool. If you browser supports this then it will definitely play fine on browser preview.
You can take a look at the In-app Video lesson which is available to you in the lesson panel for more details on how this works.
And yes you have pre-load options for HTML5 Video too, however progressive download is not available. You will need to use scripting using JS for getting this functionality.
Hope this helps and do try this out.

How to force mpeg 4 video to always loop.

Hello,
I've created some animated loops for for use as podcasts for video iPods. As required these files are in H.264 format and store as ".m4v" files.
Can someone please tell me how to save these files in a way that they are forces them to loop when played, not simply play once and stop.
This is critical for the iPod experience to be ideal. Thanks.
-Doug

QuickTimeKirk,
My goal is to create a looping animation for playback on an iPod. Should be easy right? Not with the QT!
I did the following:
1) Render a bunch of frames destined for looping.
2) Convert them to an uncompresses ".avi" file.
3) Open the ".avi" file in QT Pro.
4) Click "Loop"
5) Play movie. It loops nicely.
6) Click "Export" and select "Movie to QuickTime Movie"
7) Click "Save"
When I play the saved ".mov" file (You said QT retains the metadate requiring looping) IT DOES NOT LOOP!
To recap: This is a Quicktime movie. I selected looping when I created the bloody thing.
It
does
not
loop.
This *****.
This is REALLY, REALLY, ANNOYING! *** is going on with this QT Pro crap? I simply want to loop the movie. Is that really asking too much? I don't think so.
Can someone, anyone, please, please, tell me how to force the movie to loop on launch. Forcing an iPod user to muck about and select looping (can they even do that?) is not an option. Period.
Please help me,
Doug

How do you stop HTML5 video from autoplaying?

I don't want video to play automatically. Flashblock achieves this for flash videos, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do the same thing for html5 video (on vine, for example).
None of the about:config settings appear to have any effect, and html5 isn't handled by a plugin so click to activate doesn't do anything either.

I confirm `flash-control`stops autoplay for html5 and old Flash videos (attached screen), plus it has a comprehensive little FAQ right on the extension page :)
Unlike `about:config` and other extensions I tried in vain.
Thanks @FredMcD @fledermaus for mentionning the former.
