I need some advice on how to play video on a website. What I would like is to have a clip link on the page, and upon being clicked, a video player expands to the middle of the screen and plays the video (and has the standard video player controls). It also has "X" to close the video. I would suppose there is a widget or tool for this but I can't seem to find it.
Also what video resolution and format would be best (most compatible with browsers)? The video would just be a local file on the server.
Try look here:

Hope this helps.

I am new to HTML and CSS (So that may be the issue). I entered the following code into my html doc:
<video controls width="700">
<source src="video/PristineCustomCleansVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
The video I want to play is inside a folder called video. The index.html and the video folder are nested inside a folder together.
The video shows up on the site I'm making as a gray rectangle with controls (in a Brave browser). When I press play nothing happens. I also tried opening my page in Firefox and within the gray rectangle it says "No video with supported format and MIME type found."
I looked up this question and have found so many confusing suggestions. Whatever you recommend, please do it as if I know very little about computers (I thought I knew a good amount until reading some of the responses and can't follow what I should do. lol)
Another issue I am considering is if I have to do a lot of work to get the video to play, will others that I send my website URL to have issues as well? This is for a class project. I have to put everything on the school's server and share the URL with the teacher.
If your index page and the video are located in exactly the same place you do not need the video folder in the path to your file. The following should work.
source src="PristineCustomCleansVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"
I am doing a live website.
I use the VLC plugin to play the video stream.
When I switch between different videos, the VLC logo will always appear in the middle of the two videos.
I hope this logo screen will be replaced by the last frame of the previous video.
How should I set up the VLC plugin?
Don’t use VLC. Use the video tag, or MSE.
A while ago I stumbled across an example of an HTML5 video player with support video in video. In an example use case, the following was demonstrated: a powerpoint presentation video, with an explainer video to accompany it. Unfortunately I can't remember which video player it was.
To illustrate; something like this
The beauty of the player is that it's able to serve multiple sources of video in one view and toggle between different view points (like split screen and switched view).
Like I have illustrated here:
Split screen video
Switched video view
Could anyone help me find out which HTML5 video player it may have been, or maybe how this could be achieved in something like VideoJS?
It looks from your requirements that these are completely separate videos.
If this is the case then one simple approach is to just have two video players.
You can then use your web page layout to place them wherever you need them to start up, and add some simple Javascript scripts, linked to buttons on the page for example, to change the layout to however you want it for that particular button (e.g. one button might be for split screen).
I have a page that displays multiple videos using html video tags. The code looks like the below snippet:
<video controls="controls" class="vw" name="Video" src="videos/ACS_Video_2b.mp4"></video>
The class is simply a class that dynamically sets the width, height, etc.
The video looks and plays very nicely in all browsers except for Firefox. All of the videos on the website using these tags are upside down in Firefox. I can't seem to find anything online about people having similar problems. In fact, when I go to other websites using identical video tags and video extensions, etc., the video displays perfectly on their site for me in Firefox.
Here is the website with the upside down videos for reference:
http://www.larrykrannich.com/video.html
The videos display upside down locally, on a local server, and hosted on a real server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is a firefox problem, I have seen that several people have complained over and over about this problem but all to no avail. it only happens when the video is recorded from mobile, firefox doesn't seem to use the camera details to encoded rotation that came along with the mobile video. for the main time you have to figure out a fix for yourself, you can use css transform to rotate the video tag, but one problem with that is that it will rotate the video control with it.
you can use videojs, then add the rotate plugin, you can just google it. it will help rotate for video.
you can do something like this
if ( isfirefox ) {
<video class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="270" height="360" data-setup='{ "plugins": { "zoomoomrotate": { "rotate": "270", "zoom": "1.4" } } }'>
<source src="video-source" type="video/mp4">
</video>
}
also, there is a recent issue in chrome update that compress mobile video as well. still looking for a fix for it
It seems to have something to do with rotation metadata in the video files. The problem can be solved by transcoding and rotating the video. Similar post here
Most likely, you have recorded the video upside down, without realizing it - which can happen, e.g. when using a smartphone-camera.
There are video-players, that auto-correct for such things, which might be, why you didn't realize the video being upside-down.
There is a free Videoplayer called VLC, which you can correct this with by rotating the video.
Get it here and install it, if you don't already have it:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Steps:
Open video in VLC media player
Pause the video, if it's too short to keep running, while you perform the other steps
In the upper menu, navigate as follows:
Tools
Video Effects
In the window, that just opened go to the Geometry-tab and do the following:
Check the box "Transform"
Select "Rotate by 180 degrees"
Your video should now look nice and right side up
To save your changes:
In the upper menu click, navigate as follows:
Media
Convert/Save
Choose, where you want to save the file.
Upload the rotated video in place of the upside-down one.
Now your video should be displayed correctly :)
I would like to know how can I add an image in html when you load a vimeo video ?
Any informartion, links related or codes are welcome.
Thank you!!!
I guess you are talking about how to add a poster-like utility for Viemo videos, as done trough the poster HTML attribute when placing HTML5 videos.
Well, there's no such an option, as far as I know. When Vimeo is not active (as it has not been played yet) the video's thumbnail image is displayed, and when Vimeo's video is loading, it shows it's own loading animation.
Anyway, you can select your custom image when uploading your video on Vimeo, so, at least, by this way you can define what will be showing by default your custom player.
