I have recently started building in html5 playing around with video.js.
I have the videos working in all browsers except ie8.
Problem in ie8 is the video plays but with no controls.
please see my code below:-

Any one had this problem?
Thanks.
I found this thread and a few similar ones... none of the solutions worked for me.
Eventually I figured out the problem (in my case, at least), which involves IE8 not being able to handle :before while in IE7 mode. Solution is here:

I'm just now seeing that we have a related post. I too, have just about the same issue and am thinking it is CSS based.
Not sure if I should delete my post or mark it as duplicate somehow? Here it is here:

I have built a livestream server for our church that is pushing the live feed to a video-js player on a page which I can then embed in our main website. This is working fine except I would like the stream to start playing automatically once it goes live (so if people are sitting on our site waiting for the live stream, they don't have to keep refreshing to get it to start playing).
I have seen mention of writing into the code for the player to keep querying the server every so many seconds and then start automatically, but I'm unsure how this gets written into the page.
Current code for live.html:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src='https://bacstream.live/videojs/video.js'></script>

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 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

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">
</div>
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.
