Thanks Adam, appreciate your efforts.

Hey Ulrich – good to see you are co-author of this plugin. I have revisited the plugin and like what I see.

I tested it out using a mp4 video file only and the plugin seems to be working well on Firefox Version 20.0, Opera Version 12.14 (1738) & 12.15 (build 1748), Safari Version 5.1.9 (6534.59.8) & Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65 – running Mac OSX 10.6.8.

I did noticed some strange behaviour though (Chrome & Safari) – if I right click on the progress bar the play head moves to this point and then when I release mouse button, the playhead scrolls forward or backward when I move the mouse left or right! Is this normal? This only happens the first time and subsequent right clicks on the progress bar will move the playhead to that point but scrolling does not occur.

Also I noticed if I don’t add a splash image, when the player loads on Firefox I can see the progress bar but no first frame image appears….

Load time is much slower than VideoJS wordpress plugin too.

I would like to be able to CSS my own skin for the player, is this available yet? If not, do you think this will be available in future updates?

Thanks for your efforts with this plugin – seems like we are getting close to a complete solution for self-hosted videos. Future development I would like to see is for the plugin to do its own transcoding so all you need to do is upload one video file and it generates the other types necessary for cross-browser compatibility. Flash fall-back must be ready to die….. ??

Hey @adam, would you be so kind and offer some advice on how one would go about using ACF with this plug-in so shortcodes would no longer be needed. I have very good technical skills but limited php knowledge. I would love to be able to add a video from my media library or upload a new video directly into a post or page utilising the videojs plugin without having to use shortcodes. Much appreciated.

Agreed. Has anyone stumbled across a solution akin to shawn00m’s suggestion:

But an idea solution would be one where the user uploads whatever video they have and all the converting gets done on the back-end without them having to do anything.

Have you tried placing the CSS inside the WP GOOGLE FONTS Custom CSS (optional) box? This works for me.

Thanks again.

Thank you for your time. New 3.5 Multisite install it is….
Have you heard any issues with the new file structure regarding streaming media to different browsers and mobile devices?

Okay, great news. I started on an earlier version of multisite and yes, I would love to dumb ms-files… BUT although I appreciate your detailed effort explaining step-by-step how one can do this for themselves, I’ve been wasting too much time with multisite lately and cannot justify the effort right now. I have not yet searched this but I thought I should ask you while we are at it, how difficult is it to create a fresh install of multisite 3.5 and then transfer my 6 blogs across? And I guess more importantly, my main challenges with multisite have been finding decent themes that work well with WPMS, streaming media on multiple browsers & smart tablets/phones and resizing/displaying images (timthumb.php) simply because of how files are stored and retrieved in multisite. Does the new multisite still have these issues to your knowledge? Are files stored and retrieved more sanely now? Thanks so much for your expertise.
Regards

Hey Michael,

Did you find an answer for your question? I am having trouble with gradients in internet explorer and have found a fix (see below) but SafeCSS strips out the -ms-filter & zoom lines.

background:none;
-ms-filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#26ffffff,endColorstr=#26ffffff);
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#26ffffff,endColorstr=#26ffffff);
zoom: 1;

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
