After having owned HTML5VideoPlayer for almost a year I thought I ought to use it, to my disappointment I find it does not work.The first thing I noted was the application did not add the respective javascript or css links to my code, these I added manually after reading the FAQs.
I am at a stage where the player shows but does not play the video - HELP!!!
I have no need to have anything but .mp4 so have not added the other types.
I have the latest version of HTML5VideoPlayer, jquery-latest is version 1.11.1
Below is my code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../ScriptLibrary/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../ScriptLibrary/dmxHTML5VideoPlayer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../ScriptLibrary/projekktor.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../../Styles/dmxHTML5VideoPlayer/totallylookslike/style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="dmxHTML5VideoPlayer totallylookslike" id="vidPlayer1">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <
.dmxHTML5VideoPlayer({"width": 630, "height": 360, "playlist": [{"0": {"src": "../../../video/2014/07/2014072501.mp4", "type": "video/mp4"}}, {}]}
);
}
);
// ]]>
</script>
</body>

Teodor, many thanks for your prompt reply.
I uninstalled the HTML5VideoPlayer and then reinstalled it, this seemed to take care of the fact code was not inserted into the page. After ensuring all code was copied onto my development area (jquery etc.) I was able to run IE to check the results, it ran as I would have expected.
Firefox doesn't seem to run but after checking the file sizes of the 3 required types (MP4, OGV, WebM) to ensure it can be played on all browsers I was shocked to see a 66MB FLV file (that's what I've been using) was replaced by over 300MBs of files, not exactly what I wanted!
I thank you for your reply, it looks like I might have to stay with what I have used for several years now, it takes up far less space!
Kind regards,
Bryan Page

Hello Bryan,
Unfortunately this is not something that our extension require. This is how the HTML5 Standard works and this is because all of the browsers require different file formats.
