Degradable HTML5 audio and video

Shortcodes for HTML5 video and audio, with auto-inserted links to alternative file types, and degradable performance (lightweight Flash and download).

1.8.2

  • Addressed problems caused by v1.8.1. If you still have problems with 1.8.2, I updated the 'does not recognize the location' in FAQ.
  • Added optional class parameter applied to the wrapper div and to audio and video tags. Defaults to 'html5audio' and 'html5video'.

1.8.1

  • Fixed a bug where on some server configurations, the Flash fallback video player would not play the file.

1.8.0

  • Added support of FLV videos (works either as simple Flash playback, or as a prefered version of fallback player when H.264/Ogg versions exist)
  • Added support of .ogv and .oga extensions in autodetection and manual format setting (.ogg continues to work)

1.7.1

  • mp3 only is now acceptable for audio. See "So what file formats are required?" in FAQ
  • Updated the Flash Audio Player to the latest version
  • Added "What if the plugin conflicts with another plugin?" to FAQ
  • Fixed the compatibility table: Chrome can play MP3 using HTML5
  • Added a call to enqueue jQuery (needed if 'avoiding' Firefox)

1.6.1

  • For a video poster, the plugin will attempt to detect a jpg with the same file name and use it when 'poster' is not specified
  • Fixed a bug where H.264-only videos would not play in IE8

1.6.0

  • For audio, you now do not need to provide the Ogg files (This uses JavaScript to force Firefox to the Flash fallback.)
  • New format option to manually specify available file formats (avoids auto-detection and allows storage anywhere)

1.5.1

  • For video, you now do not need to provide the Ogg Theora files. If only H.264 version is available, Firefox will be served with the Flash fallback.
  • Due to the auto-detection involved, video files should be somewhere under your content folder (usually 'wp-content'). UPDATE: Unless you use manually override this (using v.1.6.0).

1.4.2

  • Compatibility with WordPress 2.9 and 2.9.1

1.4.1

  • The width and height of the HTML5 video element is now explicitly set

1.4.0

  • The autoplay and loop options (if used) are also applied to the Flash fallback audio player
  • The plugin accepts relative paths (e.g./wp-content/uploads/2009/09/new_world in addition to http://soukie.net/wp-content/...)
  • If the path and name to media includes the file extension ('.mp3' etc.), it will be ignored and the media will function properly

1.3.0

  • Fixed a problem with the audio Flash player introduced by incorrect upload of v1.2 (affects some users). Apologies!
  • Switched to a three-digit version numbering.

1.2

  • The audio files no longer need to be under the 'uploads' directory but anywhere within your content (usually 'wp-content').
  • Updated the way IDs are applied to the fallback Flash players (they use the supplied or generated ID prefixed with 'f-').

1.1

  • Added optional attribute options to define the player behavior (default is: show built-in controls, buffer media when page loads but do not start autoplay and do not loop).
  • Added support for .wav (WAVE) audio (the preferred source, if present).
  • Fixed bug with incorrect IDs of the fallback Flash players.
  • Documentation expanded to cover available codecs, Google Chrome 3.0, and options.

1.0

  • Initial version.
