[Bug 1397131] [NEW] Replace Flowplayer with an HTML5 video player
Public bug reported:
All the browers that Mahara supports, now can handle HTML 5 video:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=video
So, I think the time is right for us to replace Flowplayer-Flash with an
HTML5 video player.
One obvious option is the Flowplayer-HTML5 verison (which has the added
benefit of supporting Flash as a fallback). But I'd like to see if there
are any alternatives out there, because Flowplayer's handling of their
Flash plugin has not shown that they are particularly interested in
keeping the open-source version of their product up to date. So if we
could find a product with a more active open-source community behind it,
that would be tops.
Or do we even need a separate library for HTML5 video playing? Could we
just drop the video in with some tags around it?
