collective.mediaelementjs

An integration of the MediaElementJS_ audio and video player for Plone.

Large portions of this package have been blatantly copied from the collective.flowplayer_ product by Martin Aspeli.

What it does

Once installed, supported media files uploaded to the Plone site will automatically use a view that renders them with the MediaElementJS player.

MediaElementJS uses <video> and <audio> tags on modern browsers. If the browser doesn't support HTML5 media element tags, or can not render the media natively, a Flash players that mimics the MediaElement API_ is used. See the MediaElementJS browser and device support chart_ for details.

The recognized formats at the moment are:

Audio MP3, Ogg, MPEG-4, WAV, Windows Media Audio, WebM

Video MPEG-4, Ogg, WebM, Flash Video, Windows Media Video, MPEG and QuickTime (.mov and .qt)

This package doesn't do any transcoding, if you need that have a look at wildcard.media
