The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
OIPlayer - HTML5 audio and video player with fallback to Java and Flash
OIPlayer inits and controls the video- or audioplayer made by modern browsers with the html5 video- or audiotag. It was developed for the Open Images Platform.
It features a fallback mechanism and enables the use of three players in a generic way. It sifts through the sources inside the media tag to find a suitable player, replaces the mediatag with itself and enables some generic controls. Is supports the html5 media-tag itself, the Java applet Cortado for the ogg media format (ogv, oga) for browsers that have Java but don't support the html5 media-tags and a Flash player, in this case FlowPlayer for (mp4, h.264, flv).
This script borrows heavily from the rather brilliant one used at Steal This Footage which enables a multitude of players (but defies MSIE ;-) http://footage.stealthisfilm.com/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').oiplayer(); // on all video and audio tags in body
});
