WebMediaPortal native HTML5 Video-Tag for mp4-files (1 Viewer)

[Markus1980Wien]

Would it be possible to add HTML5-Video Tag for *.mp4;*.webM;*.ogg Files.

I have many mp4 files in my Video-Folder. When watching them using WebMediaPortal it seems that they are always converted/transcoded using VLC on the server.

it would be cool if you can add an extra way to watch such videos without the need to transcode.

or to express my request in HTML-language

<video width="720" height="576" controls>
<source src="../../MyVideos/Game_of_Thrones/S01E01.mp4" type="video/mp4" >
</video>

That's basically the Direct profile with an HTML5 player. Interesting; gonna look into it.

EDIT: Also, I've moved your topic to the MPExtended forum.

I tried severall things but Direct Profile does not play with Chrome or Internet Explorer.

If it helps I would be glad to offer access to my computer in a http + skype + team-viewer session to find/fix the problem.

The Direct profile currently uses the VLC browser plugin, so if you don't have that installed in Chrome or IE it doesn't work.
