- taf2 14y agomediaelement: (http://mediaelementjs.com/ http://mediaelementjs.com/) works well for audio - haven't tried it with video but i'm sure it's good.
- mrmincent 14y agodo you mean something like http://flowplayer.org/ http://flowplayer.org/ ?
- crazirican 14y agoExactly like that, but it cannot be used on commercial products. At least for free. Any other suggestions?
- mrmincent 14y agoI've only ever used flowplayer, so I can't really speak for how anything else works, but I found http://jplayer.org/ http://jplayer.org/ which looks like it might work, and is MIT licensed. Otherwise maybe look through this list: http://blog.insicdesigns.com/2010/06/best-html5-media-player-implementations/ http://blog.insicdesigns.com/2010/06/best-html5-media-player... and there might be something suitable.
- chrisringrose 14y agoWhy can't you just use the basic video tag? http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp
- manishsharan 14y agoIt is not very hard to write you own HTML5 media player. I got this book and found it very useful http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Guide-HTML5-Experts-Development/dp/1430230908 http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Guide-HTML5-Experts-Develop... In addition, MSDN also has a bunch of very informative tutorials on HTMl5 Video player.
