The HTML5 player is fantastic and I have been using it for as long as I can remember (since it became an option). My favourite feature is the playback speed controls, when trying to learn a song on guitar, I can follow along with the live performance or tutorial to learn how to play, absolutely invaluable.
Every day the number of reasons to keep Flash installed gets lower and lower. I still keep it installed on my machine for the occasional site that still uses it, but Flash's days are definitely numbered. When a site as big as Youtube stops using it, that is when you know there isn't long left. Fortunately Adobe realised HTML5 is the future a while ago and have been creating some great tools.
- notdan 12y agoSince you are using youtube to learn songs on guitar, you might try this out (I made it): http://tunetranscriber.com http://tunetranscriber.com Let's you do marks and loops as well as using the playback controls.
- tim333 12y agoThat's cool. What did you use to slow the music/vid?
- notdan 12y agoThe YouTube slowdown is just using the YouTube API. For mp3, it is using the html5 file and audio Apis, and a JavaScript port of the sound touch library. Everything is done in client side javascript, there is currently no application server, just a static site.
- tim333 12y agoThanks for the info. I was thinking of building something doing somewhat similar stuff but I think it'd have to be sever side in my case.
