HTML5 Blue Video Player with Playlist / Gallery

WordPress version

Intro

Want a Video Gallery that is easy to install, to customize, works in all browsers ( even IE8 ), is up to the latest standards ( html5 ), has multimedia support too ( audio / images ) , can feed from video sharing providers ( youtube / vimeo ) ? Then this is the Video Gallery to showcase your videos on your site.

The gallery works in all major browsers environment – including IE through flash fall-back. Also, by inputting a single video in the video gallery, it becomes a video player.

This gallery uses the latest html5 tehniques. For example – it uses HTML5 LocalStorage to remember the last volume you had before you exit and sets back that volume when you come back. The skin is setup via simple CSS – so it’s fully skin-able with basic CSS

  </object>
  </video>
  </div>
  

  I have my video ready, how do I add it whitin the gallery ?

  Best way to learn that if you are not consistent with html is by example. Open source/index.html and around line 122 you will see:

  [ .. ] <div class=”vplayer” data-description=”<img src=’img/thumb.png’ class=’imgblock’/>Video 5” data-img=”img/1.jpg”>

  <video controls preload> <source src=”video/test.mp4” type=’video/mp4; codecs=”avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2”’/> <source src=”video/test.webm” type=’video/webm; codecs=”vp8, vorbis”’/> <source src=”video/test.ogg” type=’video/ogg; codecs=”theora, vorbis”’/> <source src=”video/bubbles.m4v”/> <object width=”500” height=”300”> <param name=”movie” value=”preview.swf?video=video/advideo.flv”></param> <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param> <param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param> <param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”></param> <embed src=”preview.swf?video=video/advideo.flv” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”500” height=”300” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” wmode=”opaque”> </embed> </object> </video> </div> </div><!END VIDEO GALLERY>

  This represents the last video in the gallery, and it’s a good example so let’s clone that and name it Video 6 instead of Video 5

  [ .. ] <div class=”vplayer” data-description=”<img src=’img/thumb.png’ class=’imgblock’/>Video 5” data-img=”img/1.jpg”>

  <video controls preload> <source src=”video/test.mp4” type=’video/mp4; codecs=”avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2”’/> <source src=”video/test.webm” type=’video/webm; codecs=”vp8, vorbis”’/> <source src=”video/test.ogg” type=’video/ogg; codecs=”theora, vorbis”’/> <source src=”video/bubbles.m4v”/> <object width=”500” height=”300”> <param name=”movie” value=”preview.swf?video=video/advideo.flv”></param> <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param> <param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param> <param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”></param> <embed src=”preview.swf?video=video/advideo.flv” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”500” height=”300” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” wmode=”opaque”> </embed> </object> </video> </div> <div class=”vplayer” data-description=”<img src=’img/thumb.png’ class=’imgblock’/>Video 6” data-img=”img/1.jpg”>

  <video controls preload> <source src=”video/test.mp4” type=’video/mp4; codecs=”avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2”’/> <source src=”video/test.webm” type=’video/webm; codecs=”vp8, vorbis”’/> <source src=”video/test.ogg” type=’video/ogg; codecs=”theora, vorbis”’/> <source src=”video/bubbles.m4v”/> <object width=”500” height=”300”> <param name=”movie” value=”preview.swf?video=video/advideo.flv”></param> <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param> <param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param> <param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”></param> <embed src=”preview.swf?video=video/advideo.flv” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”500” height=”300” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” wmode=”opaque”> </embed> </object> </video> </div> </div><!END VIDEO GALLERY>
