When I try to get a video to play (source is url) it works fine in flash, but the $videofile variable is blank in the HTML5 VIDEO tag. This is weird as the $imagefile variable and other variables are being set.

The only way I could fix it was to manually set the $videofile based on the value of $arguments['id']. Is there something I can do to get my code to pick up the $videofile url?

if ($arguments['id'] == 6) {
$videofile = 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/FOLDER/FILENAME1.mp4';
}
if ($arguments['id'] == 7) {
$videofile = 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/FOLDER/FILENAME2.mp4';
}
if ($arguments['id'] == 8) {
$videofile = 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/FOLDER/FILENAME3.mp4';
}
$output .= ' <video id="video" src="'.$videofile.'" poster="'.$imagefile.'" width="'.$width.'" height="' . $height . '" autobuffer controls onerror="failed(event)">Html5 Not support This video Format.</video>';

HI,

This feature is not available. Our html 5 player does not have the feature of playing streaming videos. You can play only Youtube video and uploaded file formats which is stored on your server.




Thanks

Why is this not a feature. If I can solve it so easy, is there a reason you guys are blocking this?
I'm going to have to find an alternative. I can't fix this every time I launch a site.

Hi,

Please ignore the previous post. Kindly follow the below steps to fix this.

Modify the following code in the file hdflvplugin.php in the following file path wp-content/plugins/contus-hd-flv-player/hdflvplugin.php


Find the below code in the file

<video id="video" src="'.$videofile.'" poster="'.$imagefile.'" width="'.$width.'" height="' . $height . '" autobuffer controls onerror="failed(event)">

and now replace the below code

<video id="video" src="'.$file.'" poster="'.$imagefile.'" width="'.$width.'" height="' . $height . '" autobuffer controls onerror="failed(event)">


If this does not work please download the latest package from wordpress.org and install it.

Hope this can help you to play the video in HTML5 player

Thanks
