PMPlayer question (<video /> tag)

Unread post by wickedsp1d3r » 2023-01-31, 10:57

It supports this:

Code: Select all

<video src=""></video>
But does it support this:

Code: Select all

<video>
    <source src="">
</video>
If not, could it (if it only have one <source /> defined)?

It doesn't depend on video tags, it depends on the site and video in question supporting <embed> tags. On Youtube for example, there are many videos that can't be shown because the creator didn't allow embedding the video on other webpages (you'll see this mostly with official channels of record labels).

A site has a video:

Code: Select all

<video id="my-video_html5_api" class="vjs-tech" preload="auto" data-setup="{'fluid': true}" tabindex="-1">
  <source src="" type="video/mp4">
  <p class="vjs-no-js">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video</p>
</video>
It seems this uses Video.js. What's up with this library so that PMPlayer does not support it?

Go look at the description for PMPlayer to see what sites it supports.
