Latest Trunk Not Working On Mobile With Fallback
Sun, 12/11/2011 - 07:10
I've been playing around with the latest trunk of html5Video (r: 3449). When testing it in Android (2.3.6) and on iPhone and iPad (iOS SDK simulator - although I had someone test on their actual iPhone and iPad and got the same results), the loading spinner comes on then everything disappears, including the poster image. Checking the DOM in FirebugLite on the iPad, it appears that all the control divisions aren't there (see attached screen shot).
You can access the page here:

It's just a copy of this page, changing the Javascript source to my local:
http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5lib/mwEmbed/modules/EmbedPlayer/tests/P...
It works on everything else (even on IE 6 after fixing a couple bugs in the source code (see below), just not on mobile devices.
IE6 bugs:
/modules/EmbedPlayer/mw.EmbedPlayerNative.js line 68 - get rid of the comma after 'overlays' : true
/modules/EmbedPlayer/mw.EmbedPlayerKplayer.js line 89 - get rid of comma after version : [10,0]
(Yeah this always gets me in IE too!)

Actually the site I'm doing this for won't be implementing the player for a few months so decided to go off the latest trunk. I do have a workaround in right now, but just sticking with that so I can keep up on the changes and go with the latest version when they go live.
I got registered on the wiki and will keep up on that. I handle the development for a rather large video site (as well as Drupal), so I spend a lot of time buried in the code of this type stuff and am very interested in keeping up on the development progress.
The control interface is undergoing heavy modification this week. I'd recommend using the tagged revisions of the library at the moment for the latest features that have past testing: http://www.kaltura.org/kalorg/html5video/tags/
It may interest you to see that we have just installed a Code Review system on the html5video.org wiki: http://html5video.org/wiki/Special:Code/Kaltura_HTML5_Video_Library
If you'd like to participate in our code reviews, you just need to create an acount on the wiki, and add in comments. (Let me know if I need to set your user up with any special permissions, but I believe anyone can comment on the code)
We are currently mapping out a transition to using Git to manage our changes to the library, and this should make feature related branches easier to patch against trunk in addition to our recent efforts to better tag release revisions.
Cheers,
Andrew
