Adobe Releases Its Own HTML5 Video Player

Posted by timothy on from the our-very-own-kitchen-sink dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Webmonkey has an interesting tidbit about Adobe's release of its own HTML5 video player: 'Adobe has released an embeddable video player that plays HTML5 native video in browsers that support it, and falls back to Flash in browsers that don't. It's cross-browser and cross-platform, so it works on iPhones, iPads and other devices that don't support Flash. Using Adobe's new player, these devices can show videos in web pages without the Flash plug-in.'"

    So where's the link to the source code? I'd like to compile and test this video player.

    It will let you view GIFs, JPEGs and PNGs on any page you visit.

      And it'll fall back to Flash if your browser doesn't support those.

    Maybe future versions of the plug-in will use Flash to show HTML5 content. That could really be something!
