Videojs.swf related #497

Hello

I have been testing the hls.js from dailymotion and the videojs integration that you pointed out https://github.com/benjipott/videojs-hlsjs

I m pretty amazed by the result, especially on low end machine, it works fine where flash would freeze. Overall the behavior is great. My only issue is about IE not being compatible.

I found a workaround by setting up 2 exact same source with different mime type ("video/mp4 used by your flashplayer and "applicaltion/x-mpegURL") and a tech order (hlsjs/flash) in videojs options.

That allow me to use your custom flashplayer as a fallback in case a visitor use IE, even if IE display a very dis-gracious warning when he attempt to load the first source.

But wouldnt it be better if the custom flashplayer was able to automatically take over hlsjs when IE is detected? I am not sure I was clear. basically I m thinking with a little tweaking of the actual scripts, it would be possible to use your videojs.swf as an automatic fallback and therefore allow a much wider browser range to be compatible.

Regards

Also, when using your custom swf with videojs5 with an rtmp setup and the vjs-live class, the player state is not in live mode, and it display the progress slider.

I know you are busy on hls.js but it would be nice if this could be updated to work with videojs5.

Hi @campones I am affraid this is outside of the scope of the streaming libs themselves, this should be handled at the player glue level. I guess you should check with the folks doing the videojs-hlsjs wrapper
