527565 - [FyFx] Five Year Campaign ogv video doesn't work in Chrome, but should

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Five Years of Firefox, defect)

Description

[Seth Bindernagel]

For Chrome, we have set the fallback for the ogv video as Youtube.  But, I have been told that Chrome supports open video and should be able to see the subtitle solution with a proper implementation.

http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody has a solution which makes good use of the <video> tag and the fallbacks it allows.  <video> works on Safari if you encode the video as mp4 instead of ogg, which would mean subtititles would work there (and we'd have a better open-web experience).

Also, from http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html#video, you can use this to detect if <video> is supported:

function supports_video() {
  return !!document.createElement('video').canPlayType;
}

The doctype is also wrong.

I already have the validation to make this happen, it is only one line change.

Carlos - how come we aren't making use of <video> ?

Comment 5

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

The <video> tag actually is there, but it's generated in JS then appended after detection.

If we can just fix the chrome thing, we'll be in good shape.
