video

I'm looking for a way to play flash videos in the background, without controls (yes legitimate reason), and a js api to start/stop the videos easily, like:

video1.stop();

or

$("div.all-videos").start();

Basically, I'm looking for http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/ for video.

Soundmanager is basically what I need on the flash side, but it has no html5 support.

Is there a flash player that video player that does have html5 video support.

Thanks.

I've been looking for a solution to this for years, but nothing is conclusively documented. There are many Shoutcast Flash players out there (e.g. radio.de) so I know it's possible. However, most of my research leads to this: s = new Sound(); s.loadSound ("url.of.shoutcaststream:8003",true); Which… >>> More

Are there any jQuery plugins for html5 video to insert instream ads into the video? Most of the flash ones work by pausing the video at a particular timestamp, and playing an ad stream, then resuming the original video stream. The jquery captions plugin for html5 seems very similar, but different. >>> More
