UniversVideo Plugin http://universvideo.com HTML 5 Video + Flash + FFmpeg + WordPress Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:40:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 SEO http://universvideo.com/2011/10/seo/ http://universvideo.com/2011/10/seo/#comments Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:40:32 +0000 Braydon Fuller http://universvideo.com/?p=229 It’s been more than two years now since I’ve posted here last. I haven’t updated the project, though may receive attention later. I would like to combine the project with another that has come up in the last two years called, MediaElement.js . I’ve determined that the “Share” feature is a bad idea, originally wasn’t my idea, and introduces so much complexity, the project becomes unmaintainable. It’s designed around the idea that people are not able to make a copy of the video, where this is best used for videos that can be copied and licensed in the appropriate way, such as using a Creative Commons license.

There is also a great deal of support for HTML5 video when dealing with feeds, mobile (no flash), and search engine optimizations. There are a few people that were interested and following this plugin that were big into SEO.

For yet another reason to adopt HTML5 video, I’m pleased to note that HTML5 video is now appearing with appropriate thumbnails in search results.

JavaScript is used to detect if there are enough capabilities of the browser to support the custom JavaScript HTML5 video controls, but JavaScript is not required.

Grab it while it is hot!

The above video will play without Flash in Firefox 3.5+ and Safari 3.1.2+, and also in any browser with Flash installed. In Firefox 3.5 the implementation in 100% different than the Flash implementation. It uses Canvas for the controls, JavaScript for the behaviors, the HTML5 video tag, and Ogg Theora / Vorbis for the video codecs and format. It plays in Safari using all that but with the H.264 mp4 video like is used in the Flash player.
