I'm trying to get a playable video from a url of a video stored on Google Photos. The documentation suggests adding "=dv" to the base_url
It play video in Chrome, Firefox but not in Safari.
How do I go about playing video in Safari from Google Photos API?
If I add "=m18" instead of "=dv" it will play a compressed version of video in Safari. But Google recommend to not use "=m18"
<div class="videoHolder" style="position: absolute; width: 1200px; height: 675px; top: 180.5px; left: 251px;">
<video id="video" width="1200" height="675" autoplay="" controls="true" preload="" playsinline="" muted="" poster="342278662.mp4"><source src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lr/really_long_url=dv" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
I'm expecting the video to stream, but I just see the buffering symbol
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, the Google Photos Library API does not currently support video streaming. If you want to access a video for playback, you have to use the =dv base URL parameter to download the file first.
Unfortunately this is a known limitation, you can follow the feature request on the issue tracker here: https://issuetracker.google.com/111931138
If you have a specific use case in mind or technology that should be supported, please add details to the feature request.

I noticed that IDM (internet download manager) does not come up in this page when the video starts playing: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
the code behind this page is a simple html5 video tag:
<video id="video1" style="width:600px;max-width:100%;" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
When I use the exact same code with the same video in localhost, IDM starts. I have no special setting or exclusions in IDM. So what is the secret behind this page that IDM is not starting?
Some videos are protected by Copyright and use special protected protocol. It is restricted to save any data recived by this protocol. IDM does not support it for legal reasons.(Reference)
To check that this is the reason why video is not shown, you need to open "Options->General" IDM dialog and press "Edit" near "Customize IDM Download panels in browsers".
I'm using the retina theme for the Shopify site. I'm using video on my home page but it's not autoplay in the chrome. another browser it's playing well...please tell me to need to customize code for autoplay in the chrome browser?
Chrome can autoplay the videos with sound off, so you'll need to add muted attribute.
<video autoplay muted>

We have integrated Brightcove videos in our application. Autoplay videos play in desktop browsers but not playing in ipad Safari browser.
Please suggest if there is any limitation of playing autoplay videos in iPad/iPhone Safari browsers.
Please let me know if further info needed.
Autoplay option is disabled by default on mobile devices to avoid bandwidth consumption. User has to click play button to autoplay the video.
However if you want to enforce autoplay and muted attributes, but it will work only on latests versions of Chrome for Android and iOS 10.

I'm trying to install Ooyala's video player using their HTML5 API. However, in their HTML5 demo, there's no HTML5 to be found, just a flash player (as in the rest of their examples). Do they not actually have an HTML5 API, or am I doing something wrong? I was expecting video to be dropped in via a <video> tag or object embed or anything other than Flash.
Ooyala has recently upgraded to V3, also they have deprecated AS3 API. V3 supports flash video with HTML5 fallback. Also you can set HTML5 option by default as shown in example below. It's shame they haven't done HTML5 with flash fallback.
You can specify HTML5 platform as shown below. If you don't specify anything, flash version will be used by default with HTML5 fallback.
<script src='http://player.ooyala.com/v3/MzZiMzc1ZDUzZGVlYmMxNzA3Y2MzNjBk?platform=html5'></script>
This demo uses HTML5 version:
http://demo.ooyala.com/product-demos/OOview_Win8/OOView/player.html
More implementation information can be found here:
http://support.ooyala.com/developers/documentation/reference/player_v3_dev_embedplayer.html
The Ooyala Player will use html5 only if it detects that the user is on an iOS device. To test on the Desktop, use Safari. Select Develop -> User Agent -> (Any iOS Device), then open the link.
I am not entirely sure about this. However, I think that Ooyala did not launch HTML5 API yet. As far as I know, Brightcove just launched a Limited Availability of the HTML5 API, and I was under the impression that this was a step ahead in the HTML5 video market.
