If we are rethinking the use of Flowplayer, we need to keep in mind that
the internalmedia block is not there for Flowplayer alone, but also to
display any other formats that certain operating systems support such as
MOV, AVI etc. While we may not need Flowplayer if <video> and <audio>
can be played without a plugin, we still need to make sure that the
other formats can still be used.

Title:
  Replace Flowplayer with an HTML5 video player

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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?
