[Xerte-dev] Re: HTML5 Youtube.html model

[Julian Tenney]

Generally we have used the design principle to put the user in control of playback, so generally don't auto play media. But someone will give me a good use case ;-) The thing here is to try and make it hard for people to use badly, so this is probably optional, rather than on the main form so that people can go 'ohh, yeah, that will make them watch it...' and turn it on without a really good reason.

Can see hiding related videos as useful. I'm not sure we can always retrofit every new setting to the old world - if old stuff keeps working as it did, and new stuff has new options, I don't see a problem. This fits with my idea of flagging new content with a LO property playback="html" so new content is HTML by default, old content remains flash (but upgradeable)

That begs the next question. Should we include the currently unavailable feature rel=0 (hide related videos - good at my institution as youtube videos about nurses often brings up some questionable material)? Should I then also incorporate autoplay as on occasion it can be useful...

What do you think about size? I can use the video size where the 2 plain URLs (www.youtube.com<http://www.youtube.com> and youtu.be) are used but with iframe you already have a size. Should this option override the iframe one or vice versa? Either is doable...

To get the "Hide related videos" or "Show related video" option in though will require one of you to add it to the flash model. Any point?

Yes, I think that's the case, they are legacy settings from the old embedded way, so just ignore them,

Hi,

I've now committed this and it's working with all 3 linking/embedding methods. The problem I've run into is that I've added these 3 options:


*         autoplay="true"

*         toggle="true" // This is toggle fullscreen

*         videoSize="600x400"

but they don't seem to do anything in the Flash engine. I assume that these might have been relevant if the flv file was played directly within the Flash engine but now that it opens a popup is it no longer relevant?

I think that I can code in the 3 options to XENITH but don't want to if they should be removed from XOT since they are now redundant?

What do people think??
