+A, in anywhere either in chrome or in another app. Could you help me please?, I'm using Windows 11

look at chrome extension HotKey Music Controller: YouTube, Spotify. You can use AutoHotKey to map Alt+A to keyboard play/pause. Script will be something like:

How to open a mp4 local file using default application - AIR?

I've been trying to open a local video (mp4) as an AIR application using an android tablet, no success.
I've tryed to use URL adress but did not work as well.
I want to create a button that when pressed will open a internal .mp4 video using default android application to run this video. LIke opening a external webpage, but with video.
the video is located: /storage/extSdCard/Dealer Manager/10_VIDEOS/01_VIDEOS_COLHEDORA/DemonstraĆ§Ć£o Grupo Biosev/video02.mp4
If someone could help me with that I would be very grateful.
Regards,
Have you tried file.openWithDefaultApplication()? It's AIR-only but might do exactly what you want.

How does Chrome know which tabs are playing sound?

How does chrome know which tabs are playing some sound? Alternatively, how does chrome know which tabs to put the speaker sign on?
This article may be useful:
From ghacks.net:
"Google Chrome uses an internal version of Adobe Flash which Google can use to determine when Flash is being used for audio playback.
Mozilla does not have that luxury. While it is working on a patch to display indicators when HTML5 is being used for audio playback, it cannot do anything about plug-in contents on its own."
Assuming that's correct, then from there it's not hard to imagine that if they know of every single instance of flash being used for audio playback, that they probably have an associated property indicating which tab it is on.

Force opening app for embedded youtube video

I would like to embed a youtube video (with the standard iframe). Can I ensure that the video is played in the youtube app, if it is clicked on using a smartphone?
For completeness my video including code (using bootstrap 3.3.1.):
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
<iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo $Elem->video; ?>">
</iframe>
</div>
Thank you
I'm just trying to do the same thing and I can tell you that there is no native way to specify that behaviour as a parameter.
The only workaround (I'm still trying to implement it) is to use YouTube's Player API for iframe. I think you should use that API to embed the video on the webpage and add a listener to the first "play" event, in that event you should check if the user is using a mobile device (using another JS library to check that) and stop the playback (the stop() API call will also stop the loading of the video file) and then redirect the user to the video URL (like youtube.com/xxxxxx). At that time, at least in Android, the user will be asked to open the link in the browser or the YouTube app. I think most user have the app as the default option.
That's the idea, I'll try it and if it works will edit this response with the code I've used.
This is the link where you can read about embedding the player, it's events and API calls: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#Loading_a_Video_Player

How to embed a Youtube video in My website using a popup window? No Flash, No JS

I need help writing code for my site that will enable me to create a video popup of a youtube video on my website. I would like to use html5 not flash or JS. That being said I can't seem to find any code samples to digest. I will keep looking but if you have any ideas to
create a html 5 popup for a youtube video
not using JS or Flash.
You could use a :target event with CSS to show a popup container.

iOS HTML5 video player next/prev buttons

Is there a way to access/listen to the previous/next buttons in the iOS HTML5 video player? Ideally I would listen to some sort of a prev and next event and swap out the videos accordingly without the user having to close the video and click my prev/next buttons.
(source: iphonefaq.org)
I am currently using jwplayer to generate the html5 video and listening to their playlist next/prev listeners don't seem to do the trick. I can always find and attach listeners to the actual <video> tag pretty easily though.
If you attach listeners to the video tag itself then when the user hits next and previous then the listeners in the code will put up on those buttons. I am doing something similar with youTube videos. If you hit next it goes to the end of the youtube video and fires a video complete event tag and then I load the next video when that is called, so that the video will one loop without the next button and two the users can hit the buttons. I have not found a way to monitor the buttons in the player on the iphone side, but if I find it I will post that as well since it is important to know both angels if possible.
Funny thing I think I am looking to try and do the same exact thing. I know how to transition the videos to the next without having to leave the fullscreen mode because of using youTube api in the js but I am not able to observe the quicktime player itself and need to for another feature that I would like to work on.
That's the native iOS player which is a thin version of Quicktime. You'll know if it's an HTML5 player when it doesn't transition from the Quicktime player and your page in Safari. How is your movie being embedded?
I recently had a similar problem and was unable to find a solution using the HTML player. I ended up implementing the video player using MPVideoPlayer Framework and launching it from my web view with a custom URL scheme (AppName:Commnad:Asset). I was then able to use the delegate methods to monitor user interactions. If you would like to see basic implementation, let me know and I can add some code.
