html5 video tag - Change default views - html

I not sure how to explain. It is regarding about html5 video tag. I had setted it prefect except one. When my video is loaded (not playing. only display on html), its show white background. It is because video 00:00 is white background. Can I set to 05.23 (which show more interesting view.)?
Need help. Many thanks.

You can add "posters" to your video tags, which are like default backgrounds before the video starts, see:
<video controls poster="/images/w3html5.gif">
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
So then you could save a screenshot from your video as an image, and add it as a poster.
Maybe consider using a library like Video.js, which gives you lots of additional functionality.
https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/stable/docs/guides/setup.md

You can specify the start position within the <source> tag itself.
<video controls>
<source src="blah.mp4#t=323" type="video/mp4">
<source src="blah.ogg#t=323" type="video/ogg">
</video>
That #t=323 will provide the start point to the html video player in seconds.

Trying to add a video into html but, the video won't load

<video controls autoplay src="uniform_shop.mp4" type="video/mp4"> .
</video>
Im trying to the implement a video into my HTML code for a school assignment but, the area where the video should be comes up with a player but the video never loads.
The video is inside the same file as the pages so I don't knwo why it won't load.
As mentioned by Nikhil, you should first check if the path is correct.
Secondly, you should check if the video format is supported. Currently, MP4, WebM and Ogg are supported only.(Though this should not be the case as you are using MP4 format with correct MIME type)
If you are using the supported video then check if you have used the right MIME type.
For fallback, you can try this syntax:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Any text between the <video> and </video> tags will be displayed in browsers that do not support the <video> element.
For more info on this, you can refer to w3school.
Have you checked the path of the video properly?
The syntax is right, I guess you are giving the wrong path to the src attribute.
Or you can try this also (If the path is right):
<video width="400" controls autoplay>
<source src="uniform_shop.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

dynamic image background of html5 video

I am using video tag of HTML5. But before playing the video it shows the very first second of the video as the image; however, that image is solid black for my case; so I would like to know if I can have the default image (before hitting the play button) from somewhere of the middle of the video without using a static poster for all videos. I like to have images which will be a part of that video, I mean dynamic image as a background.
Any suggestions will help me a lot..!!
You need to generate thumbnails for your videos and use the thumbnail images using the poster attribute of the HTML5 video Tag.
<video width="320" height="240" poster="/images/w3html5.gif" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
You can use ffmpeg to generate thumbnails at any timeline from your videos.
You can Use this poster tag
<video width="320" height="240" poster="/images/w3html5.gif" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
To create your own image output :)
Well Keep it Up hope i Answered you As you Want.
All the Best. :)

How to view video in html5 tag?

I would like to ask question about how to play a video on my browser. When I try to load my video file to my browser it displays nothing. My teacher said that maybe it is because the browser is not supported by html5.
What is your idea guys. I am hoping for your positive response.
you can try this one:
<body>
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
<p>

please Refer This pages
SEE THE PAGE
If your teacher say your browser doesn't support html5.
Try double check in your browser eg. if you using chrome
Go to Menu --> Setting --> About and if it say need to be updated then click update.
Chrome support with html5 tag. Really weird if it not.
More info can check here https://html5test.com/results/desktop.html
For the coding part
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
It work and i already do a test here the display
Hav you tried to use it by
video tag,
<video id="samp" src="sampvideo.mov" controls> </video>
this should it work

Is it possible to continue playing a video?

I have a video file being transferred to my server. As soon as the video starts arriving I begin playing the video via the "video" html5 tag. However, if there is any sort of pause in the transfer of the video, the video stops playing (as expected.) Is there any way (I expect it would be via javascript), to automatically start playing the video where it left off as more of the video bits arrive on the server? I've noticed, if I add the "controls" and the video pauses, hitting the "play" button, starts the video from the beginning again. I just want it to continue playing where it left off. Is that possible?
How about set autoplay
<video id="myVideo" autoplay>
<source
src="http://yourSite.com/yourPath/video.webm"
type='video/webm'>
<source
src="http://yourSite.com/yourPath/video.ogg"
type='video/ogg'>
<source
src="http://yourSite.com/yourPath/video.mp4"
type='video/mp4'>
</video>
Add the "loop" attribute to your video element like so:
<video loop>
<source
src=videos/video.webm
type=video/webm>
<source
src=videos/video.ogg
type=video/ogg>
<source
src=videos/video.mp4
type=video/mp4>
</video>

HTML5 video tag always gives Invalid source

Here is my code:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="d:/lscweb/Presentations/2015-04-07 Ampersand.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
But when I load up the page I get "Aborted" in the video player. If I do this:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="d:/lscweb/Presentations/2015-04-07 Ampersand.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
I get "Invalid source". I assume it's trying to look up the mov_bbb.ogg file which doesn't exist. But I want it to play the first one. It's mp4. Why won't it play?
You can't use link references to absolute windows os paths.
I suggest you move the video to the same folder as your html document and just do src="video.mp4" to avoid needing to use complex relative paths.
