[Xerte-dev] Re: HTML5 Media PLayers

Ah, OK, can probably live without the GA stuff.

We haven't got time to build our own player in the Xenith timeline, but I get the principle behind them: it's also one of those problems that only needs solving once, so a good gpl solution would be great at least for now.

I prefer jwplayer as it has event tracking for google analytics built in.

media elements was ok, but I couldn't make the GA tracking work with it (it is one guy working on it, so not wanting to criticise).

You looked at http://videojs.com/

You could also do a

if(document.createElement("video")){
html5}else{
flash
}

which is what they all do really
