The problem with that link is that it covers HTML5 usage outside of Curio. What may be available in other environments/applications won't necessarily be available in Curio.

Besides, I think Naken was referring to scripting in regards to what Utherverse has now (prop scripts) and what Curio is suppose to bring in the future (Javascript capabilities). Neither of these have been talked about much lately, if at all. So it leaves many of us wondering what will become of prop scripts and how far into the future the Javascript feature really is.

jesus you actaully compared UTHERVERSE with Micro soft stay off the drugs you delusional

tbh: No language forces what's generally considered best programming practices and you can get away with a lot using the WYSIWYG aspect of C# GUI development environments. Learning how to program well takes time and dedication regardless of the language in which you work. When you're superb at coding and see other's work, you'll be amazed at just how much must be taught for someone to truly understand the nuances going on behind the scenes... I'm sure your friend will agree.

That said, the stricter typing and more object-oriented nature of C# provides a framework from which it is FAR easier to garner a better understanding than that provided via JS and understanding the nuances of JS (such as how closures work) can be a brain fuck.

I've built code in Unity in JS and C#, but prefer C# for various reasons, most of which are readability.

If one uses plugins available from the store or from Unity themselves, however, you'll find that you'll be working in both languages... little is provided in both languages.

Here is a place to start..
http://web.appstorm.net/...eat-html5-video-players/

and another:

http://html5video.org/wi..._Video_Player_Comparison

Many of those place offer api's so you can have the api play in an HTML5 player.. Using Javascript.

As more and more video sites want to go mobile compatible, more and more will offer the html5

Many of them have flash back up, soo uhhmm I guess so. There are flash to html5 converters out there. I have not looked into it a great deal, as I said, more and more will be going mobile compatible or fall back into obscurity in the search engines, that means they will be going html5 to survive. So I think the point of sites offering html5 videos is kinda mute anyway..

Viegoth your our GOD on this forum for help for so many things, if you don't know how to convert our Flash to HTML5 I think we are doomed until you figure a way how too. Please keep trying

Happy Christmas

wouldn't the client work like a browser would on the internet..
that was the impression i was getting from brian..

if we look at the client as the browser and the world as the net..

we download the client not the net..


some sites are set up to use flash and some are not..
but the browser would be able to see all those sites..

so basically what i am understanding is you have old uthervers with all it's stuff and all those little sites in those sections of it that are like older websites..
a zabay is a virtual world or considered a site on the 3d internet..
it has it's own url..

all those older utherverse sites should be able to be seen with the new client..

where the client we have now would not be able to see the new curio sites..

the new curio sites may not be set up for flash, but that doesn't mean the new client won't be able to see flash from the older sites..

from a lot of what i've heard it is for the most part back ported to support the old world..

if that is the case it should be able to see anything in it..


from what i am gathering,with curio it will be more uploading content to a server than it will be having to link things to other sites for them to work..

sort of like it is done in second life..

you upload your textures and mesh and animations to an asset server rather than say textures sitting on photo bucket..

i could be way off,but a lot of what i have heard so far sounds pretty similar to other content creation worlds i'm part of that have content uploaded rather than linked through scripts..although they allow scripts to still do that in the others..

flash and textures in the current utherverse are more or less just linked from the url they are sitting on through the client to our system ..
if our flash player is not up to par we can't see flash..
if the server our textures are sitting on crashes and kills off the link..it kills off our being able to see the textures in world..
because we are actually linked through the client to those outside sites..

curio sounds to me like it will be eliminating a lot of the outside linking and handling more of the asset load itself..

again this is just me picking up pieces along the way like everyone else..but just seeing similarities in a many things..things that i think will be very nice for creators and users in the new world..
if i am close in my assumptions anyways hehehe

i could be 10 miles off and just spinning tires here as well lol

Curio is your browser. That much is right. But here's the snag. If your browser isn't capable of supporting the necessary plugins (Flash, WMP, etc) then if you load a URL for that type of content, you get nothing. And from what the devs are saying, this new browser (Curio) won't support the Flash plugin. Therefore if you try to view Flash with it, you won't see anything.

Converting Flash to HTML5 is a non-issue. Hell, Adobe has a tool for that as does Google. But even with those tools, the conversion is not 100%. Most Flash apps will convert without a problem, so a lot of the gadgets and gizmos people like myself and Naken and Web3000 make will live through the process.

The concern, then, falls to things like video and music apps. You can't just grab a video URL from YouTube and magically convert it from Flash to HTML5.

Plus, a great deal of Flash video uses a specific format known as H.264. For those of you who don't know what that means, don't worry about the technical jargon. Just think of it as a language for video. Flash video speaks one set of languages, but HTML5 speaks another. If HTML5 doesn't understand the language the Flash video is speaking, you get nothing. But more importantly, if Curio doesn't speak the right language, then you really get nothing.

The same thing goes for MP3 music streams. A lot of DJs use ShoutCast music streams, which are almost exclusively MP3 streams. At last count, the technology that Curio is relying on isn't capable of supporting MP3 audio.

What this boils down to is this. Although much of the cool stuff we like in Flash will convert over to HTML5 without a huge problem, some of it won't... like many of the video and music apps. Which means some of us will have to find new sources of videos and music while we wait for the technologies to catch up.

P.S. And if you're waiting on the likes of me to save you... you really are doomed.
