[REQUEST] HTML 5 support for Vbulletin flash video embedding

[MaSSive]

Ive recently got tired of using flash player and got sick of its robustness and worried about security, cause its well known that there's way to many exploits and hacks which flash/Adobe can seem to patch up.

Also on portable devices, embedded YT/ Vimeo/Dailymotion videos on forums dont work if you use HTML5 instead of flash.

So I was goggling around and found a possible solution for your forum software.

Youtube (etc.) in HTML5 - vBulletin.org Forum

It would be very nice if we get rid of flash and just use HTML 5 to display videos.


I hope Admins will take this one into consideration.

Thank you in advance.

Well maybe you could even rewrite the current website source code to HTML5 and then PM it to the admins. I really don't think that converting the site to HTML5 will ever be high on the priority list.

Uhm, theres no need to "rewrite the site" whatever you meant by that. Forum runs o CMS software which has plugins. The problem is that if you disable flash plugin on your browser, flash on site will cease to work, and especially embedded video.

By simply changing plugin this could be solved and it would support HTML5 video playback

Sample for html5 embedded video

Code: Select all

<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mzPxo7Y6JyA[color=Red]&html5=1[/color]" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Any admin willing to look into this?
