Having an issue that has been frustrating me the last few days.
I have some videos on a site that are loaded dynamically from sitecore, and display on a page with thumbnail images. When you click those images you are taken to a lightbox with the video.
The problem is, the video plays in Chrome, Firefox and IE8 -, but not IE9 +. I thought it may be an encoding issue, but I have converted this video so many times to every format available to the web to no avail.
I am setting the plugin to load the video as flash first, then if flash isn't available, load as html5. This will clear all worries in terms of browser support of HTML5 video.
I was thinking that it may be the lightbox and videoJS plugin fighting with each other, or the fact that i am hiding videos and showing them, which i know can sometimes cause issues. I have decided to use a different lightbox, and people seem to have said that colorbox is a decent one to use with videoJS, especially since it has some built in callbacks onLoad.
On to the problem and the code:
The problem:
This lightbox is working, but videoJS seems to throw a few errors when i try and reset the player, which is breaking the videos in IE since its such a dumb browser.
As you can see in the demo link at the bottom, the videos play in IE just fine when they are just set on the page, but when you open the lightbox by pressing "vid1" or "vid2" you are riddled with console errors and the videos no longer play.
The code:

Console errors im getting:
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'vjs_getProperty'
LIVE DEMO:
Go here to see the errors for yourself: http://kodistro.com
In this case, my solution is to inject the video tag HTML into the lightbox content (when opening) and then call videojs().
So, in pseudo-code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".inline", this).colorbox({
inline: true,
rel: 'videohook',
width: '650px',
height: '274', //the size most be fixed
onLoad: function() {
var appendVideo1 = '<video id="my_video_1"......> </video>'; //insert the <video> tag. Note.Remove attribute data-setup='{"techOrder": ["flash", "html5"]}'
$("video_1").append(appendVideo1);
},
onComplete: function() {
videojs(my_video_1); //initialize video-js
},
onClosed: function() {
videojs(my_video_1).dispose(); //destroy video-js
}
});
});
</script>
<a rel="videohook" data-vidID="my_video_1" class="inline" href="#video_1">vid 1</a>
<div id="video_1" class="video">

I am trying to play a flv file using video.js. So far I have included:
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/6.3.3/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/6.3.3/video.js"></script>
and then in my body:
<video id="my-player" class="video-js" controls="" preload="auto" width="640" height="264" poster="" data-setup="{}">
<source src="http://www.mediacollege.com/video-gallery/testclips/20051210-w50s.flv" type="video/flv">
</video>
However, the video is not loaded and not shown. Anyone has experience with video.js and flv files and why it does not work?
You need to use the "videojs-flash" plugin and set mime type to "video/x-flv". Be careful "videojs-flash" plugin also used "videojs-swf" plugin
Example html file with video.js v7, supports flv, hls, rtmp stream.

I'm trying to follow the GettingStarted instructions on https://github.com/googleads/videojs-ima to setup videojs with ima. But, am getting stuck on the part "In player.js, load the ads library"; nothing has been changed in the local player.js file so it still looks exactly the same as here https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/master/src/js/player.js.
Bellow is the current code I have, but when it's ran in IE11, the console reports a warning and two errors:
Warning: "VIDEOJS: WARN: videojs.plugin() is deprecated; use videojs.registerPlugin() instead" in video.js (489,5)
Error: "SCRIPT1002: Syntax error" in player.js (5,1)
Error: "CSS3120: No fonts available for #font-face rule" in video-js.css (12,7)
Any input very much appreciated.
Thank you.

I have a scenario, i have to play two video in HTML5 player in mobile browsers. The videos are playing fine in desktop browsers.
one thing i know ,
We not autoplay videos in mobile browsers, user has to tap on the video player to play video.
What i am doing, on video ended event of first video i am changing the src of the . but sometimes it is shaky or it does not plays the second video. user has to tap on play button to play 2nd video. I just need to exclude the 2nd tap. YouTube is doing this somehow. The ad video plays fine, the player minimize and then the 2nd video starts playing.
It takes much time to play the video on start.
Following is my sample implementation. try this url in iPhone or Android

video.js Hello. I'm trying to have a video autoplay when slider starts. That part is working. Problem occurs though when it loops through and comes back to the video, the video will not replay. I've tried to figure it out with a loop="true" but if I do that it just plays video over and over and then slider doesn't work. Any advice? Thanks! (I can add my code if needed)

You can add the autoplay parameter of the <video> tag to "autoplay" instead of true. This worked for me using Anything Slider.
Has anyone been able to create a full-screen overlay using Video.js player? We are looking for a way to display a div over the video, and have it available even when in full-screen mode.
This is what I've done on a recent project using JQuery UI dialogs, but the solution applies to whatever element you want to display over the video.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#overlay').dialog({
width: $(window).width() * .8,
height: 100,
position: { my: "center", at: "bottom", of: window },
autoOpen: false,
zIndex: 2147483647
});
});
int = setInterval(function(){checkNews()},checkNewsInterval);
function checkNews() {
var url = 'news.php';
$('#overlay').load(url, function() {
$('#overlay').dialog('open');
return false;
}
</script>
<body>
<div id="video-container">
<video id="myvideo" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls
preload="auto" poster="" data-setup="{}">
<source src="<you_video_source>" type='video/mp4'></source>
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
</video>
</div>
<div id="overlay"></div>
</body
</html>
The trick being the property:
zIndex: 2147483647
either set in the dialog setup or as a CSS in:
#overlay {
z-index: 2147483647;
}
