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.'"

    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/widgetbrowser/ Second link I saw when I scanned the page. Looks like you need to use their "Widget browser" to be able to download and use it.

    Adobe based their player on Kaltura's library: http://www.html5video.org/ (also see http://www.kaltura.org/project/HTML5_Video_Media_JavaScript_Library)
