BUT! the amount of .webm movies out there is miniscule and it seems like I have to convert manually before uploading them.
What other formats work with HTML5 and RLC new Support for Chronium?. Ive tried a few and so far only .webm seems to work.
i been working at it and here is the good and bad
Still liking webm because of the ability to do way higher reso for simple looping
deco type gizmos. Way better length and reso than swf could ever could do in world.
The bad on webm for that sort of thing? As of last i knew flat as a pancake where you could wrap a swf onto a prop or sky. Not saying there won't ever be a way to do that but right now not a priority for me..... yet
".webm movies out there is miniscule" i do not see a lot of hope that will change Clevo.
i think i know what you are going after since there is plenty out there in .mp4.
h264 won't die as quickly as flash but already and has been being replaced. Not by .webm
but by HLS and MKV/.h265
So what to do? Because converting .mp4 to .webm is both slow and a lot of work.
i will not share what i know to do to get around it, and thankfully combines into what i am working on for a total new SiTV with a lot of things people want. Cue up all see same of any video, plus live channels as we have now in rtmp/flash.
The quirk why we are stuck with just webm (that could change IDK but the devs may)
New RLC is Chromium base (open source) not chrome. Chromium lacks codec to support .h264
It is a licensing issue that the codec support are not in open-source Chromium.
HTML5 video on all the major browsers have no trouble without flash already,
Here is a helpful tip. Try a pornhub webpage in attach web browser the video will play in world.
BUT don't get excited, what is happening is the players on most major video sites that are already html5 have flash fallback on them. Once flash is gone those sites like pornhub will not show in world with the way it is now with Chromium base RLC.
Always ways around it and eventually what i am not willing to share right now. Others will figure out a way also. BUT i can say for myself, makes my head hurt doing the code testing and the countless hours that goes into getting things to work.
My biggest problem is maintaining what SiTV has going now and trying to squeeze in the new processes on the same servers. i crashed one server already reconfiguring things for the new SiTV. Won't be that bad but more work getting a few dead links fixed on SiTV.
i do hope people will continue to donate to help cover cost, it is getting really scary.
Not planning on failing on this or letting anyone down here. SiTV has already PROVEN can do live without flash months ago and well on the way to a new player with even more capabilities than the old flash SiTV.
What are you scared of? SiTV only works when people help
This might help

Try that in browsers on your computer then put that page in attach web browser
No .264 support in chromium, where most all other browsers will continue to support .mp4
even after the demise of flash
Peace
