https://videojs.com/ is
an open-source video player that could be an excellent update for the current HTML
5 Video element. Would someone far more
knowledgeable than I please look into the videojs code and see if it can used
be use to create an openElement MEDIA element? The current HTML 5 Video element is so out of date that you
have to scroll down to the bottom left hand corner of the player to click on a
small play icon. It lacks the standard
play button that you see on YouTube videos. Videojs looks like it has all the
latest upgrades, capability to change skins and extensive code to play on
numerous browsers. Thanks ! |

Using javascript when HTML5 standard propose a clean video interface isn't the best idea.
Try using this one: https://denislafrance.net/Element/ResponsiveHTML5Video.en-us.htm This is pure HTML5

On the other hand, developping a new element with video.js takes some time.

I have tryed
https://denislafrance.net/Element/ResponsiveHTML5Video.en-us.htm and spend days of frustration. I could not get it to work for more than three vidoes in a project before it stops working. I email the creator on his web site and got no answer. I have over a hundred children's videos that need to be easily used by 5 year olds, like the current youTube player. youTube is not an option because it takes the students off the web site ditracting them with numerous off site video suggestion. As HTML 5 video is a major part of web sites, it will be a valueable addition to upgrade the current openElement HTML 5 Video element. So it is worth the time. Would the creators of videojs be interested in developing a new element? What skills will I need to learn to help build it?

On this page, I can run 6 videos without any issues
I copied and renamed the same video so they are different video files. |

videojs creators are not involved with OpenElement's forum as far as I know
You need html, js and css knowledge. You also need to learn how to use OE's element editor but there is no documentation on it. I went trough that frustrating exercice of taking existing supplemental elements and trying to create some new ones. Go to this page: https://denislafrance.net/index.en-us.htm And click on OE Elements

I took a look at videojs and it runs over html5 standard video tag. It simply adds javascript code on top of html5 video tag. The element that I built is also using and is limited to html5 standard video tag. If you allready have issues with my element it might be caused by your host. Try the following test:
